Challenge:Straight (Basic Editing) Camera:Olympus SP-510 UZ Location: Boerne, Tx Date: Dec 2, 2008 Aperture: 176 ISO: 33 mm Shutter: 1200 Date Uploaded: Dec 2, 2008
I was taking pictures of a few friends skateboarding and caught this really cool shot. He didnt land it but the picture came out well. It looks sort of like he's flying with his arms stretched out. To me straight lines and angles kind of "make" the picture. The skateboard, his arms, legs, the ditch, etc.

Umm, a number of things...
a) what's "straight" about the contents of this image?
B) use the full 640 pixels available on at least one side of the image
C) It's somewhat on the backlit side, but it's an interesting action pose, and the silhouette could normally be considered a creative choice. However, the rest of the image says "snapshot" to me. Some fill flash could have helped it.
I dont see how this fits in the straight challenge. As for the shot its self, it it under exposed and the focus is soft. teh ground has become pixelized and its just uncomfortable to look at.
He missed it, too bad. I'm thinking here....hmm I just don't get what his idea was pertaining this challenge, no problem. Doesn't mean it's a bad shot.
Struggling to see how this meets the Challenge

Apart from that, the image is too dark. It needed fill in light to light the boy and the skateboard. At the moment it is too dark, with a blown out sky.
