Description
Re-shoot of Simon 360 Flip . No fill flash, and a much, much faster shutter speed.
I'm still orgasming over how perfectly I focused this.Feedback would be much appreciated, this photo is professional work for me, for a company interested in hiring me.

This is an amazingly great shot. I really do love it. The low angle and all of the movement between the bloke and his skateboard is captured brilliantly. And I can't help but wondering if he stuffed the landing. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/r/r… " width="15" height="15" alt="
The only thing I can really suggest for this is maybe lighten the sky a bit. The foreground and they guy have wonderfully sharp colours, but the sky seems rather dark and dull in comparison.
Other than that, I really can't suggest anything else. The image is very striking, and immediately caught my eye, which is everything you could want it to be.

I felt the sky was too bright originally, and that the subject stood out more against it dark, but I'll see if I can tinker around with it a bit.

But I gotta learn kickflips and 360 pop shuvits

Gotta love getting perfect focus! I shoot my neighbors skateboarding all the time so I understand how hard getting even okay focus can be.
I really like the colors and the composition is pretty interesting. The light poles are kind of bothersome and a face would have been nicer than a butt, but not everything can go perfectly. Still a great photo!

If I had a wider-angle lens I wanted to shoot it from atop the ramp, looking down at him with the camera a few feet over my head. :9 Else he could just do it backside, but, he can't do it backside.
Thanks for the comment.

Yeah, it does seem to be a bit much negative space. :9 I'll try and keep that in mind next time I do any similar shots.

Perfect timing, with no blur. Can't say too much about the background, but that isn't the important part of this picture, is it? The focus is crystal clear... now let's see if you can try to replicate this lucky moment in ALL of your photographs
