| Thank you all for the great comments. FYI no humans were injured in the making of this photo. We were on vacation at Lake Mead and as we came up to the dock after a great day on the lake, we saw three teenage boys jumping their bikes off of a homemade ramp into the lake. They were more than happy to let me photograph them. I was just luck to be in the right place at the right time. rcrawford |

| Very nice air. (From the title you would think he didn't land so good...) Congrats! |

This is very dramatic, but I'd feel better if I saw a fully-armored biker. Of course, when discussing motorcycle helmet laws years ago with my dad (a science teacher) he pointed out it was just natural selection -- riders with helmets had a better chance of living to reproduce...
I guess you get a "bonus point" for offering up such a "negative" example... |

| What a shot - Perfect in every way - Except for the helmet, (its a parent thing). I think you will do well with this - One of my 10's this week - Good Luck, Gotcha |

What a great action shot and the way his leap is frozen with nothing but the sky behind him works very well. The shapes of his body, limbs and bike are fascinating, even as a silhouette. I'd prefer him a wee bit higher in the frame but that's a minor preference. The inclusion of just a little cloud saves the sky from being too bland a background.
Wonderful image.

| Very dyanmic! The fact that your subject is fully in the air (no grass or road to be seen) emphasizes the excitement of this stunt. The fact that your negative space is filled with clouds pushes that excitement further. Great sprawling of legs and bicycle! 8 |

Excellent Shot! The 'neg space' does enhance the effect of the subject. Very crisp and clean image. Great coloring. Could be a great pic for a magazine ad or something. Great work 10

| Nice action shot! How long did it take you to get it? (or more correctly, how many pics did you take to get this one?). |
|
|
|
09/17/2002 05:44:00 PM |
| Very well done! I'm impressed at how sharp you were able to capture this one! And the wispy clouds are very nice negative space here. |

| I know you only gave me a seven, and I think mine is just as good as yours, but I am still giving you a 9, and I may move it up to 10 when I am done voting. The composition is great, the lighting is perfect, and you caught the image at the peak of action, is a dynamice pose. Good work. |

| Great action shot, AND you managed to crop the ground and everything else out of the frame, so it looks like he's catching air in the middle of nowhere. I like it. |

| Great action shot that certainly meets this week's criteria. It appears he landed on his back earlier!! |

| Exceellent shot. Doesnt really need the large space on the right, the space around him says all that needs to be said. |

| This is excellent :) The sky and no visible ground create a very powerful element of negative space in this photo :) Great shot! = 10 - jmsetzler |

| This is a great shot with negative space. Nothing except him and the background. Kinda leaves you up to your imagination to guess how high up he is. Great shot! 10 |
