Old School Excuses
This is why I was late to the Saturday evening event... Old school skate day at the Bondi Bowl. Thought I'd take your thoughts on which is a better level of saturation in PP.

Heath,
What a great couple of shots. In my view the world does not always have to be real because there are times - great times at that - when reality pushes its own envelope. These shots depict just that sort of moment to me. I would normally feel that the second shot was OTT in terms of colour but this is almost comic book stuff - action local-heroes - and the super saturated colour tells me a lot of what the culture of these guys might be. Real ' TOO FAST TO LIVE .... TO YOUNG TO DIE stuff. I do my morning walk past this ramp every day and it will never look the same again. _______________

For me it's #1 also. Reasoning is I can see the sk8r's expression and determination to nail it.
Add to that, the shot is more focused on the boarder, whilst still showing his height from the lip. The second shot for me doesn't show enough of his body, nor his face. It's still good, just not as good. The first shot deserves to be published IMO. --Wade
That first one is a very cool shot, Heath.

Sorry if some people are having problems with D/Ling the pics, they seem to be slow today...
Anyhow, here is a 50% actual pixel shot of just the skater in pic 2 - the expression is quite nice.  HB
Heath,
What I love most about the work you present is that you are clearly SO passionate about the things you're involved with. And it shows. There's no faking it, the passion is either there or it is not and if it is then 90% of the battle is won. _______________

Thanks so much SS. That is possibly the best photographic compliment I have ever received. Really, thanks.

nice shots both, i prefer the first. The sky in the second is a bit to Green? looks a little unnatural. Also the first is a little more balanced compositionally, the second feels skewed like it's falling off to the right. However, both magazine cover worthy....
