i thought POD ment a good picture with skills. like anyone can do that. thats like saying lets go to the cliffs and take a picture of us riding up top of it. then put it in black and white and why not lets photoshop it. come on pink bike.

NormanRidinHigh , POD doesn't mean you have to have mass skills. POD is a picture selected because it stands out from others, has good clarity, background, view, and yes, sometimes purely because it is a monster huck. i think this picture gives POD some variety!

flag viccityburner (Aug 5, 2007 at 17:58)
Lower your seat? You get more strenght when your legs are straight, in Xc riding, theres no huge hucks so whats the point of having a low or small frame? I think its a good pic.

People have to remember, POD isn't all about crazy freeride stunts, POD = Picture of day not IFRPOD = Insane freeride picture of the day, All a pod should be is a nice picture, and this meets the criteria.

what do you mean "I dont care if its a girl"? Are you saying that even though girls should get special treatment it still sucks? Wow, that comment really showed not just that you're a winger but also that you dont think very highly of females. Plus your album is full of tired table and tire stall shots so were you really expecting to get pod for your innovative radness?!! The shot is well taken. It's not a token B+W shot, you're oversimplifying.

flag lepricon (Aug 4, 2007 at 4:58)
umm just so this is clear to every one... making pictures into black and white DOES NOT always make them artistic or better! This one would have been far better in colour. This picture doesn't do that much for me personally. For a good black and white picture or that brownish colour whatever you call it (sepia?), you need to have more contrast or the picture has to be more abstract. I would have liked this picture had it not been in black in white but either way, I don't think this is POD material, maybe if you had a mountain view or something. Either way, good riding! and keep on shreding!

I dont think you know what you're talking about lepricon. B+W does not necisarily have to be 'abstract' but I do agree that by just converting the photo to b+w it does not just make it instantly artistic. Personally I think that this photo is very well done for the lighting conditions I can see in the picture, maybe a bit overexposed on the grass but the composition is very good. Maybe stand back a bit or use a smaller focal length (wider angle lense) to sow us a bit more of where the trail goes to but apart from that, an excellent photo :-) .
