Not much to say about this one. I did quite a bit with selective color/saturation and a little USM. I tried to keep the USM'ing to a minimum. Yes I know that there's a slight halo between the tires and the sky.

Good placing considering how many submitted! :D Although i was expecting you to be somewhere in the top 10! Too bad i couldn't vote (members only), would've given you a 10.
Very cool shot here! Great moment with Fisheye lens? I reckon you should crop the bottom (Those houses)... would make the guy looks higher on the sky. As i can see how high he is now.
At first I thought this was taken at the same place as "I See You" but obviously not. The is an attractive photo, but I ranked the other one higher because the rider was looking at the camera and the lighting is better.
that darn wide angle curvature. I would have cropped the building & trees out out entirely. Then your imagination would provide how high the subject was. I would have cropped just above the jet contrail in the background, that gives enough brightness for the whole effect to work and left a little more above if it is existed.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Nice use of wide angle here! I wish I had a lens like that! ;-) I'm glad you kept part of the groud to give this more persective. Color saturation wasn't overdone. Just a beautiful shot! The crop might be just a little tight for me but that's personal not technical. :-) 9
Great use of negative space. The "fish-eyed" building and fence is a great frame of reference for the viewer, and accentuates the biker's feat. The peaceful sunset colors are beautiful, but aren't really consistent with the action of the photo, so I think the overall impact would be greater with a black and white image.
how many times have you heard 'crop out the houses lol.... excellent light and stop motion, kids are nuts these days LOL 9 well the more i look at it keep the houses and have a 10 lol
I like this image a lot because of the time of day you took it. I might have cropped off everything below the tallest tree to make it look like the biker flew into heaven.
very impressive, expecially considering the low light conditions. the only thing that i would recommend is there is some haloing around the rider and the bike from over sharpening. even so, you still deserve a 10.
