Photo Critique

looks good exept for the light being a little flat. not really much you can do for that though.

did a fast HDR render

Why is the sky around the biker so pixelated?

dont know click on . in full resolution it is a bit better

Get the lurker out of the picture. If you moved to the left slightly so you were even with the quarter it would be better. The HDR is terrible and pointless.

ya i dont like the HDR either hahaha anyway ok next time framing left

Chuck the lurker, square up to the left more, or rotate around so you can see where hes spotting the landing. I'd also get in closer, that space on the left kills it and I think a closer composition sort of like this would spice the shot up a bit.

thanks^ i'll try what you suggest next time;)

i like it but i think the guy and the coulds should have more contrast, like i would darken the cloud and lighten him up a little but thats just my opinion. Cool pic over all tho its a great shot

I like that version better..

what is a hdr render anyway? not trying to highjack thread sorry.

It might help to shoot with a strobe to get fill light on the bike making him pop out of the background a bit more

I like the original a lot better. In the HDR it seems as if the skateboarder standing over on the right side got all miscolored and such. Composition is pretty good. I think if you shifted a tiny bit to the right to get a little bit of the face of the ramp maybe it would look a little better. The more I look at it the more I'm thinking it's a tiny bit crooked. I can just see those houses way out and the horizon line looks a little off. I'm not sure though so don't hold me to that.

Definitely loving the colors though the ramp looks so vivid, but not over the top. Great job capturing the moment too. Exposure wise, everything looks great to me. I'm not noticing any problems with exposure as it seems your setting were alright. I really like this photo. Keep shooting, and remember photography is subjective so someone may think it's the greatest shot ever, someone else might hate it. Great work!

Actually, I'm noticing the biker is a little underexposed. You just lost a lot of detail in him. Like someone else said a strobe would've done the trick.

this. especially because the graffiti and brightness from the ramp is a bit distracting
