Skateboarding pic

I just got a canon 20d and a 10-22mm lens a few weeks ago. I dont have a flash yet but i took this shot a few days ago. i photoshoped the light around the edges and thought i would post it up to get any advice or comments. thanks!

The photo is okay, but the dark corners and blurry background are too distracting to me. With that 10-22, you should be able to get some pretty good angles on just about anything.

Yeha I love the lens. It was a little hazy outside and i dont have a flash so i tried to make do. i panned him a little to try and keep him in focus but show his movement/speed. thanks

oh man, we basically have the same setup. you love the lens eh? me too. just get low, as low as you can. sometimes i find myself getting on the ground...flat belly and all. use it as if you'd use a fisheye, you know? other wise, you had good timing, his back foot is real nice, and it's a real nice spot too, it has lots of potential in my eyes. composition is nice but like i said, get low. see where that black railing ends? get down in that area, and zoom in a little, too much dead space is just that...dead.
