Neat picture but not what I envision as Urban Legends.

Hahahaha.....yeah right!! But great capture nonetheless.

Someone tell those people they are sitting in the tow-away zone! Good moment to capture, too bad the kids look so bored. I would also vote on a thinner crop on both sides so we don't see the black cushions on the right or the black thing above the guy's leg.

Great action shot. I love the looks on the spectators.
06/30/2006 12:34:26 AM
i like the fact that there's 11 people watching the match

Cool capture. I like the crowd the best actually. I would have cropped the black padding on the corner of the ring out.

The ropes create a very weird perspective effect. I think they tend to confuse the viewer a bit, which might distract from the action.

I thought wrestling WAS real! :-) interesting shot

Doesn't really meet challenge for me. 3

lol. "the pirate" needs some training.he looks like hes just relaxing instead of pretending to be frightened of the wrath of the jalepeno. :)
nice colors. I think this would be better if the performers where in focus rather than the crowd. nice composition though.

LOL!
This is funny.
06/28/2006 01:24:50 PM
NAAAAAACCHHHHOOOOOO! Still gotta see that movie.

Wow, nice mid-air capture. :) I'm guessing that Jalapeno is the one that's airborne. :D As far as suggestions go, I probably would have shot this with a tighter DOF to blur the spectators a little. Just a matter of personal preference though. ;)

Don't know if I would call this an urban legend, but for the sake of argument, ok. A wider angle lense with not showing the ropes in the forground would make this a stronger image. I like the Tow away sign, but, maybe something tighter in the crop so not to see there is only a hadfull of people watching.

You know it's not everyday you see a photograph like this. It's got everything, the Jalepeno vs the Pirate, the sparse crowd of kids and the Tow Away sign! I would critique the technicals but the strangeness makes any flaws there mute. 7.
