Not to get bored by my Szentendre photos, here's an action shot! I hope you gonna like it too! :)
"Frontside air indy grab"...yes it's really a hard trick doing it on the hight of 3.5m! To be honest he got the moves but he didn't nailed it that time...We had to wait till last Saturday when he could land it perfectly! :)
Well, it was really a bold shot driectly facing to the sun with the fish-eye!:)) But I wanted something like this with only a shilouette flying in the air! :)

PP: converted it to B&W and put some magenta and yellow and a bit contrast! N-joi! :D

quelle belle action ! tres belle photo et beau travail de retouche

My son Robert is also a skater, and I want to take a picture sometime of a skater, but still did not do that. I like yours. Very good picture and good shot. Well done.

Don

And Ladies and Dudes - we got the winner! :P

Great, great shot ToM, packed with adrenaline and action. I like it that the skater does not appear as 'hanging' in the air, but rather floating between the sun and his own shadow.

Great shot.

ComplimentS!

Super action shot!! great POV and a lovely angle! You even have the shadow. Great work!!

Very well shot ToM. Interesting choice of sepia here. I like the way sun has got smeared to give a feeling of dynamism to the picture. Great composition
Mukesh

Wow! powerful action shot!

looking forward to some more flying silhouettes :o)

You did well Tom, not easy to realized. The shadow is a top, the composition extra. I really like tje reflect at the top of the structure. Yes Tom you can be proud of this one.

beautiful composition! Great lighting too. Nice sharp action photo with a great shadow too. Great job! I want that lens! :)
JP

Sephia works great here. The Sun, the shadow, the action frozen here, all this crete amazing shot.
I like it very much.

'Zero Gravity'? Hey! That's the name of my contest Tri-bike, Quintana Roo 'Zero Gravity' ;-)
Stunning shot, Tom, decisive moment of really zero gravity, the moment he stands still int he air just before coming down again. It's up to you know this sports, isn't it? I do like the simplicity of structures and lines and shades. Very well done, turning to b&w and using a single colour to tone it (maybe a bit less of saturation may strenghten it, but that is just my personal viewpoint). TFS this great work.

Great shot! You´re POV is fantastic. Congratulations.

Hi Tom,
Amazing capture indeed! Great POV and well use of backlight, his shadow is most interesting... Good lines and dynamics, very well done!

Superb capture, really great photo and the choice of sepia tones is great!

Fly boy Fly !!!!

Excellent composition, nice atmosphere created and the sepia just goes so well...Congrats..martha

Great backside air ! I like the shadow on the ramp. Nice collor and framing. Thanks for sharing.

So impressive shot!!! So dynamic and the sun makes it so great.. And sepia is a good choice but i guess color version is impressive too.. And your composition is so balanced..
Thanks Tom :)
Elif

Tom, This is one of your best: the way the skater is caught in midair, the sepia works perfectly and the glare of the sun: PERFECT!!
You will find this one in my favourites.

Very Well done!!!

Very nicely done Tom - composition, shadow, POV and sepia (Magenta -Yellow) are all great work - nice presentation.
Sam

Amazing capture! The composition of your pic is really excellent with this skater, his shadow, the sun... A great dynamic image, with a very good POV... Well, well, well done :)
Compliments Tom!

Great action shot, ToM. I really like that you have captured the shadow of the man so precisely on the wall. The sky is also very interesting and your conversion to sepia works well. Excellent!

Sorry, I have run out of goodies for the day!

Oh yes!!! I see what you mean about the fisheye. Good usage of it and great tone.

Ben.

I love this one ! What a POV !

Great skating photo once again Tom. I love it!!
