krausehouse, you're right to a point...but some ppl give their opinion in a less than decent way (i.e just plain insulting) which isn't cool, so in those cases i think flaming is justified. Yes there are "better" pics out there, but I like this, there's a real sense of speed. props to rider and photographer. (and props to those who disagree too) Big Grin

I'm just wondering why some people dont think it should be pod? dont just say it sucks or there are better pics out there give some reasons... its different, the colours are awesome, the motion blur gives it an immense sense of speed, the composition is spot on, probly my favourite photo i've seen in a while.

1.) It's doubtful that the camera was being turned the opposite direction of the rider, but it's impossible to tell for sure.
2.) This site is full of homophobes, which is too bad. Calling something "gay" shows a real lack of class.
3.) Digging the bear comment, but his weight is forward and the fork is compressed so you can't really tell how big the frame is.
4.) Yes, it deserves POD. Just because you think you can jump doesn't mean you can rail a corner...

I remember when you could see the amount of props and the people who propped you up or down. Everyone would get angry and message under peoples pics when they didn't have the update telling you someone commented, so you couldn't seem the immature kids calling you "gay".

nice, the photo technique is called 'panning' where the back ground is blurred from movement but the 'focus' of the photo is in perfect focus. quite a difficult shot to take.
