A rider out at the track... one of the things they like to do is look right at the camera on their jumps. When the sports challenge came up, I knew I could enter this one! Only thing is, the best thing I know how to shoot for sports is Motocross - so I hope it isn't already a tired approach to the topic.
PP:
Levels - all channels
Selective Color - most channels
Brightness / Contrast

Most of the PP was to bring out the blue in the sky and brighten up the reds and whites.
I hope you enjoy!

Great shot - like how you got the rider looking into the camera - just would have liked to see something underneath to give an idea of the height- if that was possible
Lovely action picture - fits the challenge just right and the clarity of the shot is brlliant - I know how quickly these guys move through the sky. - 8
excellent capture, love 'the look'. probably could have stood to have pushed the saturization up slightly and sharpened it just a hair, but, all the same, great work, expect to see this close to the top.
