yeah, the props thing's retarded. It's school playground stuff!

meanwhile..... the pic is awesome, one of my favourite POD's this year. Great depth of colour, brilliant framing/composition. Good work people! POD!

Nice action pic, but i think it lacks any visual context. ie. its hard to tell if horizon is horizontal in the pic, or whether its taken at an angle - the background is blurred (necessary to get focus on the rider i know) which make sit hard to define the context of the rider; ie, is he leant right over or is the land really steep.etc.
Context allows the viewer to relate the rider to his surroundings and better judge the performance in those conditions. My only gripe.
Good pic though. Here come the negative props for constructive criticism......

hue/saturation tool? ha ha!!!

Thats almost definitely HDR photography and probably was done in photoshop. I still just do not understand why people ridicule others for using photoshop. You'd be hard pushed to find any professional photographer who doesn't, it doesn't make a bad photographer good!!! It just a great tool. And it looks like it been used here to create a HDR photo, where 2 or more pictures taken at different exposures, have been combined to create a photo which covers a larger dynamic range (read; lighting) than is possible in just one photo. (HDR = High Dynamic Range) It looks great and is hard work to get right.

So huge props for doing it well, sick photo and sick riding!! POD.

To all the haters out there, especially those all the idiots that posted above.

POD means 'Picture Of the Day', not 'trick of the day' or 'crazy drop of the day'.

So get your heads out of your a55es and grow up.

...and to you crankworx... "its just a guy in some woods", i don't know if you noticed, but he's on a bike!

So it's a beautiful picture of a guy riding. That what POD is about. Talk about narrow minded

I agree, and don't know why your comment has got negative props. Anyone with a remote knowledge of digital photography can tell that that pic is a collage of 2 or more shots as the exposure levels are different in different parts of the photo. The rider is well balanced and bright but the park is much in lower light, and the sky would have to have been taken with a different shutter speed again than. Its not a criticism, it takes a lot of skill to do it well, and this is a great example.

Like foxsco said. Great rider, great photoshop skills.
Why people think this is an unsult i will never know, pretty much every photo you ever see in the media is photoshopped in some way.

Definite POD.
I'll add great photograher!

I have to agree with Mortn an awesome frame made bad by generally bad parts. The bars, the seat / post and the tyres especially are awful visually. I understand everyone has different tastes, and if your after that old school cruiser look, your kinda part way there, but the tyres are ugly. The frame is so beautiful, and it seems wasted on a bike that seems to trying to achieve an aesthetic at odds with the frames original design.

That all said, i'll quote Groove Armada "if every [bike] looked the same, we'd get tired of looking at each other[s]."

So, i guess, all power to ya!!
