 This is one of the many skate parks here in Wellington, It is an old swimming pool converted into a skate bowl. This kid was really flying around the lip of the bowl showing his stuff for a couple of teenaged girls that were acting like they were not too interested. I however was impressed with the speed he was getting in such a confined area as well as how close he was getting to the lip of the bowl.

The reason the skate boarder is not very apparent in this photo is because this was a graffiti challenge and I did not want to get any comments saying that the skateboarder stole the eye away from the actual subject which ofcourse is supposed to be the paint.

Wow 3 1's and 3 2's and 11 3's pretty harsh if you ask me.

Thanks for the comments and votes. I thought it would score better. But apparently several people didn't care for it as much as I did.

The angle here makes the skater almost invisible... But a nice shot after all.

The skateboarder is almost lost in the graffiti. I would have liked this much better had he stood out a little more.
