the skateboarder

Here is a shot I got today of my mate when he was resting his foot. C&C welcome

Good shot!

I think it looks a little silly with his shoe off and him looking into the distance, I understand he was resting his foot. Still, a staring-off-into-space emotional, oh by the way I only have one shoe on, pic seems a bit...I don't know.

I do like everything about this shot, save for the shoe. I like the placement of the board, the lighting, his expression, the background (maybe a wee bit more bokeh, now that I think about it?), and the B&W feel. I do like this picture...just nit picking about that shoe.

I think the shoe adds a touch of story to the picture- makes you wonder why it's off. I like it!

I think its perfectly valid that his shoe is off and he is staring into space. When i use to skate, i would often find myself resting, and in deep thought. I have been skateboarding with alot of people, and this shot does not seem unusal at all.

Really like it.

I really like this pic, the shoe thing doesn't bother me at all, I often go into a world of my own mid shoe fit! I think it adds a quirky feel to a moody pose.
