different angle:


jumping off a roof:


a little bit further out:

and anyone who has used a fisheye knows this is close...

That's unreal. The first could really have done with a bit more sky at the very top of the image, to give the rider some space to move into. It's an action shot and he needs somewhere to go. The fishy shot is truly awesome.

Awesome! Unreal!! All of them are great but #1 is the best for me here. Good work!!!

cheers!

when you said the fishy shot is truely awesome, do you mean the first or very last one?

Sorry James but I like your closer crop images better than these, I feel it's too far from the action and too much back/fore ground. Just my two bobs' worth...

Ozi

thanks for the feedback ozi. i agree with closer crops you sometimes can achieve a much more dramatic image...

but with dirt jumps, or say a roof gap, you need to convey some kind of context to the viewer. like you need to actually show how high the roof is + the bank, or for the first image just how damn high he's going. the last shot is a fairly loose crop, just because. hahah

and i understand the context isnt all that interesting to those who arent into bmx...
