 A skater at the Swansea Show. Didnt catch his name but he was a really nice guy. I took loads of photos but I love the sky here. I was the other side of the ramp, and got down really low, so low I couldnt look through the viewfinder! so I just set the focus manually and held the camera and took a burst as I saw them jump - it worked fairly well!

Very nice capture. My only issue would be the touch of halo, but that might be hard to allevate (and could be my monitor) because of the contrast between light and dark colors in this shot.

A 10 for giving me something to look at that is both well shot and different.

Must be coming off of a ramp or something. Great shot with the sky background. Good job.

The focus is perfect. Love him against the wispy clouds. If it were mine, I'd make the sky a purer blue but that's just my taste. No points off. Probably the best stop action of the challenge.

Very cool!!! Cropping out some of the top sky would have been ok, but a neat photo.

Nice work but try some Shadow/Highlight on the main subject.

I like the POV but I feel the impact could be better if you had him in a different part of the frame. Having him higher up is probably more cliche but it would heighten the airborne feeling, IMO. Heck just a 90 degree rotate might give this a totally different feel. Anyway just my thoughts.
