I don't see why you have to make such a big deal about it. Other people enjoy it, and that's what is important, even if I have just touched it up a little bit. Also, if this picture is as much of a "Fail" as you claim it to be, how could I have possibly earned close to 100 favourites...

Though honestly, I would actually agree on your second comment, I've had a few shots that I would personally prefer to get hundreds of favourites rather than this one. On another note, what shows to you that the flash was mistimed? Just wondering, it was my second time using a flash, so I had no idea what I was doing wrong.

Yer, I'll agree with you, if people like it, that's fair enough...:s

However, I'm not sure what it is about this photo, but it just seems like a dud in the pac, one of 20 bad photos you took to get 1 good one...if you know what I mean. It just strains me to see it given so much love.



Sorry.

Actually, its really close to the stock photo, all I did was move the rider so he was more centered in the frame. Other than that I made no changes the the photo what so ever.

Ya but it does look a lil photo shopped, not saying it is but i mean he is wearing tinted goggles at night, must have been pretty hard to see.

flag Cyclist-Abuse (Nov 29, 2008 at 22:47)
Lol but it is! they werent tinted by the way, the lighting just didnt light anyhting behind the lens, besides, even if he did have tinted goggles, they would be the least of his worries... we were shooting in the total dark, so I imagine tinted goggles would have actually helped more than anything. The flash was amazingly intense...
