Straight out of the camera, no cropping. Increased saturation, brightness and contrast slightly. Sharped after resizing. That's it... that's exactly the way it was framed in camera.
Took it whilst shooting Motocross this weekend.

HOw can there be 2 shots like this in the same challenge? Imagine the surprise. Anyway, i see that you left some person and ground at the bottom of the shot to give perspective, but IMO there is too little to be effective. I would rather have seen it with just the blue sky, it would have given the impression that he was flying. Still a great shot.
That must have taken a bit of timing or work to get. The bit of someone's head (I think it is) near the bottom is distracting. (It also seems to give lie to the angle chosen for the photograph, making it a bit less dramatic to my eyes, at least.)
hmm, now i am sure that you knew there was a bit of dirt and persons partial head at bottom, and certainly proves to show the angle of the bike bit more. Great capture, very clear and focused still for a moving object.
Pretty good stop action on this obviously fast moving subject. However, someone poked his head into this shot, which detracts from the picture. I can see that you wanted to use the dirt hill as a reference point, but the half cropped face is really distracting.
It's good that little wisp of a cloud is out there... it helps move the viewer's eye down to the bottom for voting. The partial head at the bottom seems a bit out of place, but otherwise not bad.
The top of the person's head at the bottom kind of ruins this photo for me, because I can tell it's been tilted (the cloud also gives it away). With the head cropped out, I think this would be a pretty good shot!
This would have made a great entry for the magazine cover! Great action shot. I probably would have cropped out the person's head at the bottom or included more of them. Having just the top of their head looks a little off, but otherwise, I like it.
Well, I think you are going to beat my motorcycle photo :-P I like that you've left in that little corner of soil to kind of anchor your shot, but would've probably cropped even more from the bottom to get the partial head out. Am envious of your blue sky (we had clouds all day) but your clouds give away that you did some major rotating here ... but it works reall well for the motorbike. Cool shot :)
o.k. I just have to ask the question...why did you leave inthe kids head? i'm thinking you wanted a drop of land for perspective, but it will get lower scores because of the half of a head.
Excellent focus, colors and stopped motion on this.
Nice shot, good sports grab. I would have preferred it with either more of the ground in frame, or none at all... though I don't know what effect this would have on the over-all postition. Good luck.
Excellent moving shot. Clarity, composition and colour are just awesome, however I personally would have cropped out the head and patch of grass at the bottom. Overall a brilliant image though.
Nice capture. The head at the bottom is a bit distracting, and you might've messed with the contrast a bit to make the rider stand out against his/her background.
