some new shots from me

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

would have been nice to be able to separate from the background a bit, but wasnt possible at the time of day.

Would have been hard to seperate the rider in number 1 from the background, given he's in the friggin trees!!!

I like that he's sort of lost due to the background, I think it adds to the image somewhat. Almost like he's lost a bit because he is so high.

Nice touch lighting the ramps also by the way. V cool.

Nice mate.

James, This is incredibly dangerous stuff, not for you but the guy on the bike. I say this as I have my 20 year old at home after two weeks in trauma and IC after a motorcross bingle and he was wearing body armour and all mod cons. 3-6 months recovery and he was extremely lucky. The guy in these shots doesnt even have elbow pads on. One slip and he is in serious trouble. Although extreme sports are exciting to look at, after the past two weeks in hospital looking at the outcome of these practices I find it difficult to look at these images without thinking these thoughts. I apologise for the wowserish nature of this post and I am not normally that sort of individual, I am just saying that the guy in the shots is not properly kitted out and that worries me as I have just come through an experience where it all went wrong for my own boy. That doesn't mean that these aren't great shots. Up to your usual very good standard, I like the first because of placement of the rider in the image and the saturation. I am sure the second is upside down :)
In the end we know Nothing, but in the meantime Learn like crazy.
