you just ROCK! i mean ROOCKCCCK! wow. i really feel for you, because no score will ever do this image justice, especially in a challenge like this. you really should submit this to kodak.com for their potd. and now, as i have nothing else to offer, i'll just sit and enjoy it for a moment, if you don't mind. good luck in the challenge!
Great catch, excellent detail. There is still some spinning in the wheels left to show that it is not a trick setup (I know it isn't, seen plenty of this stuff myself). I like it, but am left with an empty feeling. The photo doesn't show the atmosphere, the setting, the crowd going wild, stuff like that. But maybe that is a bit too much to ask for. :) 7
Nice capture here. Good crisp focus. You have done a pretty good job photographing what is clearly one of the biggest DPC cliches. As a personal preference I think this might have been better with a bit more negative space to emphaises the riders flight. Doesn't quite wow me (probably because of the commanality of this type of image on dpc) but you clearly know how to handle a camera! 7.
Oh my goodnes! It's hard to imagine this guy ending up this shot in a "less than painful" place! AMAZING phtograph. Sports Illustrated quality if not better! Congratulations, and good luck!! Certainly gets a 10 from me.
