Some friends and I hit up the local jumps this week in between snow storms, and this was my favourite from the bunch:

I used a couple of strobes for the darker foreground / rider, and the fisheye to grab the height of the trees. What do you think?

Your picture was captured very well with the lighting and wide angle look.

Great shot. My only crit would be that there's not enough rider and bike, he's lost in the background.

Thanks! It is an interesting place to shoot, the trees are spaced in such a way that it can be difficult to isolate the rider, but they can be magic when they work.

What do you think?

I like it. It would go especially well as part of a magazine spread.

All I want is a 10-2000 f/0.5L with no distortion that weighs 100 grams, fits in my pocket, and costs $300. Is that too much to ask?
