I like action shots and the artistic blur really enhances this picture. there is one thing that makes me wonder if this picture has stepped over "legal" bounds and that is the hand--why is it missing?
Unless this is a new manuver that this kid is trying to perfect, or unless it's a new skateboard, I'm not sure the photo depicts something new. i'm not going to rule out total failure to meet the challenge just cause I don't fully understand skateboarding. Not quite sure what is cropping off the picture (not to mention his fingers) at the top. I believe there is a vehicle in the background, but other than a guy on a skateboard, the photo is pretty fuzzy, or foggy. kind of like the shadow of the boad on the ground. Good luck!
Excellent photo! It could do with some post processing to make it more colourful, but that's just my personal opinion. The action is really cool, and nicely framed.
Something new. Composition - fair. multiple reflections are distracting Technical Aspects - good on rider, fair elsewhere Meets Challenge - possibly. not clear to me Visual Impact / Originality – fair Jim msp
This is a shot that I think is really nice, but for the life of me I can't see the connection to the challenge... I will revisit this later in the week and see if I can figure it out. If you would like to PM me and help me see what I'm missing, I'd be glad to listen... ~ myqyl ~
Since I'm a fan of motion shots, I like this shot very much. But this picture doesn't say "New" to me at all. It also could do with some more contrast.
