Thanks to all who voted. This was taken with full zoom and my 2x telephoto lens. I was parked across the street watching my kids skate and killing time. I saw the sign, saw them "tempt" to walk on the wild side, and I took the shot. The focus was bad, the lighting was bad, I used a ps action, gothic glow to try to make it more suitable for the challenge. I just loved the shot and wanted to enter it, I knew it has faults.. but don't we all :)

Highly underrated IMO!
Great candid.
The kids' face look a little bit too red, which can be very easily fixed by playing with the levels on the red channel.
Their pose is wonderful and I love the dream-like softness.
Nice job! This one deserves a much better placing on the challenge.
There thinking about it....What ever there looking at looks very risky. I would liked to see the exposure lighted a tad the background is contrasting with the hair too much.
I had to laugh; they look like such the stereotype of teenagers half out of it. Their expressions are great. Was this shot set up or candid? I would have liked to see the subjects more sharp and in focus. As a people shot it’s great because it has the element of humour and a bit of a story.
What to do, what to do? Is my skateboard fast enough, hmmm? Love it, good placement of the subject in the frame and I like the soft feel about the photo!
