This is an example of a good shot that predictably did not do well with voters on this site. It's a shame, because many of the people focussing on pleasing the voters and winning awards will never dare to take shots like this. That's a loss to us all.
The framing is perfect, the lines lead you from one end of the photo to the other. And even though it's impossible to make out what's there, the lines bring you back around and you start over, flowing through the dark with the skateboarder in the photo. Zeuszen is right, it has a strong rhythm and the theme repeats over and over in subtly different ways. Like Jazz. Thanks, Sonia for entering it. |

Delicious.
The jazz of a shot like this would, perhaps, benefit from the context of a series done in the same manner.
The poor, unsuspecting voters (who went with 1-5 here) might find it easier to appreciate something continuous, nicely aligned from left to right and leaving no doubt about the deliberate nature of exploration (or indulgence). Give 'em a story book.
The silhouette of the skater against the flux of light is defined enough, IMO, for a satisfying anchor. The composition is nicely balanced, considering assymetry and motion which run through this image like charges. The grain is so fine, it sings. I can hear this picture. |
