Taken late afternoon at a skate park nearby my office. I walked up to these guys and asked if they want their photos taken and they said, "Hell ya! Doing our tricks? Can we get copies?"
Anyway, I'm not so sure if I got the concept right but it's worth a shot. Let's see what the voters think.
Shot in RAW and converted with RSE. Bumped the temperature to 12500k. Adjusted color balance and hue and saturation in PS. Ran through NI twice. Crop and saved for web.

Just going back over the photos I rated really high (9) to see how they did...... This was one of my very fav shots - I don't give 9's lightly - I think it should have ribboned - I can only imagine the pride that young guy will feel when you give him a copy of this unique/excellent action shot
I come back to this one and still can't quite peg this image. I like the motion is shows like he's merging with the background pr something. Bumping up. 8
Pretty good job of panning for that low of a shutter speed. It's good as an art photo, but as a sports photo not so good. Still, I like the blurred background a lot, although the light streaks are a little distracting.
Incredible panning shot...awesome colors, great feel of motion and action, creative subject matter and use of pan. While others went after the simple, obvious horizontal pan of cars and bikes you went further... most excellent!
Pretty good meeting of a difficult challenge. Would be better if subject were just a little sharper, a slightly faster shutter speed would help, as you have matched the body motion pretty well and there is plenty of motion panning effect.
So far the best atmosphere from any of the shots. Am sure some will say this needs to be sharper, more in focus, etc - but I really liked this within the context of the challenge. Great shot - 7
