ive been sitting on it for a while now, kept forgetting that i took it.

i'm super happy with it, but i would like some other opinions, too. basically... i don't have any self crit on this one... not sure if thats a good or a bad thing.

50mm 1.8, 1/400, f9, 2x flash (one 383, one 555)

From a technical standpoint [composition, exposure, focus etc] you've nailed pretty much everything IMHO.

The only thing which bugs me slightly about the shot, is where the guy is looking [straight down].

Of course there's nothing you can do about that from your side of the camera, but still ...

Shadow [?] along the right edge [top of the wall] is a bit annoying as well. Super easy to clone out!

They're both pretty minor details in the scheme of things though. I'd certainly be happy with that shot as well!

the whole looking down thing is really a style thing, being all tucked up over the back wheel looks a lot nicer if your heads down...

but your def right on the shadow.

haha Josh is a boss! dunno about this, after seeing the spot reckon it would have been better showing where he came from rather then where hes ending up. cause from this angle it just looks like a hop over the garden bed. apart from that gripe the actual shot is quite tasty

shooting this shot is ridiculously hard.... not from a technical perspective but getting a shot that makes it all look resonable... having said that it looks crap from behind hey. ive got a couple of cool fisheye shots from above but they dont work as well as this...

even josh agreed. hehe.

but it is a shot that needs a caption explaining whats goin down.

no crit still? is it thatbad?

Personally i don't find grown men riding bicycles exciting, but from a technical point of view looks to me like a great shot....agree with the head up looking at the camera critique though.....
