Freeride - Critique please

[FocalSpeed]

A little info on the picture before you critique, I guess it wouldn't mean anything if you just look at it...

The bench there would be a freeriders dream, it'll be like what a playground to a little infant is...

The bike in the picture is a freeride specific bike...

Mani,

I know how dishearening it is for noone to respond.

I think the lack of reposnse on this one falls into the "If you dont have anything nice to say..." category.

Youv'e done better work. Lots of reasons why I dont like this. Debris under the bleachers. Downright ugly background. The fence. The other fence. Bland lighting. Bland color.

If you are involved with Freeriding, and if "Freeriding" is to bicycles what "Trials" used to be to motorcycles, then you have access to what must be some spectauclar shots. Hopping from this thing to that, the struggle to keep your balance when gravity refuses to bow to your will, the posibilities are endless.

This shot comes nowhere near what you could be showing. Remembering some of your other shots, The Blue Golf, The Laurier Bridge (wow!), That Red Red Red Sky out the kitchen window, I know you have an eye. Even the Porche Hand Brake shot - which I didn't like, but I have to admit, it had audacity. This one has none of what you have shown in the past. It could have been taken by a 4th grader and called "My Bike"

Go do better.

PS - Now that you really really like me, what do you think of my "A Beautiful Orange God"?

I know how it feels when no one responds..... It’s all in the subject line.

I think the picture is sharp in spots. I just feel that there really isn’t one object that demands that look. Maybe too many objects?

Maybe if you shot right behind the back tire, a foot off the ground in the back corner of the seats, or in front of the bleachers shooting into a blue sky?

Yes, based on Subject, I was half expecting a Foghat MIDI to play when I opened the post!
