G'day Trekkers!

That day my aim wasn't really to catch a difficult trick in the air but to capture the nice texture of the sky!...

I hope you're gonna enjoy it as much as I did!

PP: I put USM and sepia effect in Nikon Capture 4. Resized and framed in Photoshop.

The sky is brilliant. I like the colour tones. Great composition.

Hi Tom!
The lines of the ramp guide the eyes toward the sky and the presence to the skater gives tension and drame to the photo.
well done!

Woooo. Excellent ToM. What a super photo, and the sepia colour change makes it look quite dramatic, and emphasises the moody clouds. All the textures are interesting too. TFS
Janice

Signature shot. :)) You'd have a hard time with an identity change as well!! Love the clouds, love the curve ... always reaching for the sky ...

Hi ToM,
i thought of you today. I watched a movie on DVD called "First Descent". It is about snowboarding and snowboarding-history. I thought about your skater-photos.
I like this one too. It is just a great picture! Tfs.
Take care,
Sabrina

Hi Tom,

Excellent action shot - compo, tones, frozen movement, light.
cheers,
Cristian

yeah, amazing sky, terrific light and a very cool sepia effect! :-)
i really like the wide-angle-view -
this gives me some ideas for my next skate-shots.
well done & take care, thor.

Being a skater myself i think i can apreiciate your wonderful image here more than most.
I know what its like to skate a vert ramp and just getting to the lip can be knarly.
If i took and tweaked this shot i would be very proud.
I love skating and one reason my tl name is skatedog is because i'll skate till i die or cannot physcally be mobile.
My nickname is natedog so skatedog is only a natural progression.
