Challenge: Movie Titles II (Basic Editing)

Location: Ottawa
Date: May 14, 2008
Aperture: f9
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/200
Galleries: Urban, Action
Date Uploaded: May 14, 2008

Tweaked in DPP, then in CS2, a USM pass, an NI pass, the adjusted Levels, Hue/Sat to slightly reduce the red, yellow and green, another levels pass, a tweak in shadow/highlight, resized and saved for the web.

And, before all the comments come in - I know his butt is cut off - this is the full frame shot, no cropping. I'd have liked to have the whole guy in the shot, but, boy do they move fast....

Little soft and the two titles are a turn off to me.

Good action shot, but the way the subject is cut off at the corners of the frame really hurts it.

Nice. I wish I could see a bit more board.

I'm not sure how much you had to work with, but I would have like to have seen more of the board and ramp/pool in this shot. Other than that, it's pretty awesome. You couldn't have asked for his body to be positioned any better!

It's amazing what some people can do! I would have liked to see more of the skateboard, but I love the expression. He is so focused on what he's doing. I like the position of his hands and the angle of this. Nicely done :o)

nice image, crop is just too tight to really make this jump at me.

Really nice shot, though I'd like to see more of the lower-left showing more of the skateboard and his body. I don't know the movies, so I don't know if they are about skateboarding or inner city kids.
