First day out shooting bikes in the park. It's a little different than the normal landscapes that I usually shoot.

Let me know what you think and anything to improve the shot.

I will be out all day tomorrow for the slopestyle so I will post more then.

Cool shot, gives a nice perspective. Crankworx is amazing!

A great shot, but with with the chairs, it kicks ass! Great composition.

Looks like you cropped it already. I would have thrown a flash between the dirt and both dishes to get some fill on the rider. I also would have framed so the rider is farther to the left of my frame (cut almost to the wood of the satellite dish he just jumped off and make sure to have the whole dish he didn't and whatever is in the background ( I think you might catch some of the older stuff.

I can't wait for crankworx.

wish I were making it up for CW this year. I think the chairs give some perspective to his height but it hurts the isolation of the rider and that should be first. I agree on some fill flash for sure but also get that its not always possible especially if the park was busy that day.

I don’t like the crop. The chairs look like they are just floating in space. Would like to see more of the cable. Also agree that the wild look is not working for this shot, maybe cut some off of both sides
