Desaturated using the DPC tutorial on desat within Basic editing :- )
Cropped, sharpened.
Post Challenge There have been many questions about whether this should or shouldn't have been desat. The main reason it was is that the fence above the wall is a really strong green and quite distracting, so to lose that I had to lose most of the rest of the colour.

Congratulations on a top 20 placing. Very clever use of desat to get the balance of colours right whilst remaining inside the basic editing rules and a great action capture.
Quite like the way the graffiti matches the biker's clothing! Nice capture of the manoevre though perhaps not an image with a universal appeal since I suspect a lot of people, like me, won't have done this kind of stuff, whereas a lot more of us will share memories of regular bike riding shown in other shots. That's not a bad thing at all but may lead to less shared interest and therefore lower overall votes from the voting masses?
