Interesting shot. That plant on the left is about to take a bite out of the rider.... Nice shot. Aloha
Wow! Well done you, and him!
Some say that boy can ride. They are wrong. That boy can fly! Perfectly timed.
Wow. Great!!
Great action capture
Fantastic POV and great shot !
Now THAT'S hang-time ...
Perfect! Just the right moment.
Very very great sense of image !!!!! Wonderful !!
I would be way too afaid to ride like that! Amazing capture!
ET, call home! Outstanding contrast and composition in this action shot of the daring young man defying gravity, Maz.
WOW! Okay, I'm gonna go off on a tangent for a moment, because...well...it's what I do. You know those cool children's books like Where the Wild Things Are? Well that plant (Joshua Tree?) on the left makes me think of some of the artwork I'd see in that genre: something odd and otherworldly, but mostly friendly and appealing and oddly cuddly if you like cuddling spiky, otherworldly things. I don't but still. Anyway, that plant-growth-thing really drew me in, never mind the fact that the whole photo is really well done. It's so perfectly timed and the silhouette really gives it a nice pop. It's very bold! Yeah, this is nice. Or, to quote my friend Pavl, after he saw the movie Duel for the first time: "Oh, it's very satisfying."
More of your intuitive action work, knowing when to capture, and how to compose and crop your capture. I agree with Chip about that tree---it's soft but spiky and it seems to call the cyclist 'to' it. Like there's a deep secret inside it. And yes, with Harry, I see a little E.T. here too. More fine action work from you---you really know how to do this. Many kudos: It's a very special art. I wonder if you couldn't be a sports photographer...I'd bet you'd take to it like a duck to water. Of course you'd need those immense lenses, and they weigh a ton, and you'd have to watch the action on the basketball court like a hawk---but I bet you'd be a natural at it.
