Whoaw what an angle! Though I'm sure the fisheye helped ;p
Love the colours here, and the skater stands out very well from the sky.
Great stuff,
Jako

Tom

Very cool shot. Nice use of the fisheye for a warped affect that matches the curves of the half pipe. The skater is well captured. Nice job.

Another excellent action skate shot, ToM, and interesting effect from the fisheye lens. Nicely composed and great treatment. I do agree the clouds are quite interesting. Well done!

The composition is excellent and the fisheye changes just enough of reality for this to be a masterpiece, the stuff that they make posters of... Excellent

Excellent composition with impressive results from your fisheye lens and camera angle. I really like how the clouds spiral around as if an extension of the ramp itself. Nice work.

Woo... look like a "Twirl" effect... excellent POV and composition Tom, nice colour tone too. I like how you have the great timing with the skater against the sun. :D Well captured, thanks for sharing and happy New year to you. :D

Cheers,

I didn't notice the parallel between the clouds and the ramps until I read your note. The clouds seem like an extension of the ramp. Your pov makes it seem like the skater is defying gravity.

Excellent POV. The fish eye gives a really cool photo on this photo. Well done. TFS.

A bit more PP and you can claim that you've taken a shot of a surfer. :) Cool wave and a shot that screams "a la ToM" even without looking at the photographer's name. :)

Happy New Year!

Hi Tom,

I couldn't resist by critiquing this one. Very wonderfully captured using the fish eye lens. Many photographers were hesitant to use this lens to its advantage, bravo man. Sepia tone was just perfect very good mood. Cheers always.

Thanks/Salamat,
Jeffrey

Great use of the fisheye, really accentuates the curve of the half pipe making a dramatic shot.

i like the silhouette affect here aswell.

..and this is the other one.

This one I like for superb composition, such a powerful curve of the ramp that creates a vortex that seems to draw everything into it...The skater, clouds, scenery.
Excellent dynamics to go with it and sepia treatment.
Really hard choice, which one I prefer better so I decided that I love both equaly. :)

My best,
Jeri
