Nice capture. I would not have cropped as a square as he has not space in front of him. Does the raw file have more? Also, there is some haloing around the edge of his body, particularly the legs. Is this a processing artifact or something in the raw file? Posted: 10/07/2018 06:29:38
Nice shot, it would be nice if he had a little more space in front of him, it is a little tight. I like the hand and leg positions, and the intensity in his face. It just needs a little more space for him to move into. Posted: 10/07/2018 11:10:42
Thanks on room at front. Agree. Not sure on haloing but will check processing used. Posted: 10/07/2018 11:46:35
Hmmm - I am going against the grain here in saying I like the color version better. Everything stands out more to me and I especially like the golden goggles. Posted: 10/09/2018 20:45:17
Paul - Can you post my last comment?

I like both the mono and colour versions. Before reading other peoples comments the first thing I noticed after seeing that it was a good action shot was the lack of space in front of the skater so I agree with the other comments. I would also add a little more contrast Posted: 10/12/2018 12:30:13
Nice capture, stopping the action so well. As stated above, I think it is cropped to tightly. I really like the mono better. In this case, I think the colors are a little distracting. Posted: 10/16/2018 09:30:58
Question, what if I could change the line on the top and bottom of the crash pad? Thoughts? Posted: 10/17/2018 20:45:23

I decided to have a last look at peoples' images before the end of the month. I think it would be an improvement to darken or remove the lines particularly the one at the bottom. Posted: 10/30/2018 11:34:01
