Great shot. Because of the direction he's looking, it doesn't feel like he's going to "run into the side of the picture". You have great tones in this too.

Skate parks are fun to shoot at. It is amazing how far the board gets from the boarders and then they get back together.Or not.

I know it's bad but I love the "or not" photos. They always look so funny.

I think a tight crop would work better here.

Thanks Trippy, I'll give it a go. I wasn't sure where I really wanted to crop it, to close and it feels like he's going to run into the side of the picture. To far back and it's more free looking but you can't see him as well.

Well since he is looking down the sides don't matter much. It's a "sports" shot and so I feel it should be just the bridge he is going over and not much on the sides or top. This will help "mix-up" the images for this series. The meat of the image is in how intent he is on keeping his balance. The other shots show the ambiance of the park.

Ok... crop done. What do you think?

Much better. I like that he is not centered and that now he and what he is doing in the main focal point of the photo. Kudos!
