I took this with G2 + Raynox DCR-5000 0.5X conversion lens.
What do you think?

Well done! :)

Nice pic.
Did you do anything in PS? f.g., sharpen or something alike?

[geekaks]

I did some curve and level adjustments, the resize and unsharp mask.

More sk8 shots: (two of them heavily edited in PS)

Geek:

Hey guy .. you got the moves.. with that balance you"d be a whz on a Fox short board. See yah at Hatteras.

Great shot. I liked the odd angles. Not sure I love the lime shade. Have you tried shooting from a ladder or some kind of ground shots too ? Can you get any blurr ?

Hey ... you can walk the walk and you shot the shot.., wish I could skate board.

Is that a 360 flip you're doing? or a f/s flip? Those are good pictures. I film and edit some local skate videos. Where is that skatepark at? You should submit some of your pictures to the "Photograffiti" section of Thrasher Magazine. You ever heard of Juxtapoz magazine?

Great first photo. The subject is a little dark but a good action shot.
I agree with Howie on the Lime coloured photo. Maybe a sepia or b&w might better suit this photo.
With the second of the three I believe I would like it
unrotated.
