Dont question, just accept and enjoy. Its a great pic. I dont think it was chosen for how sic the riding is, (no offence) its just a really well composed, taken and edited shot. Totaly deserves POD in my humble opinion, just for looking rad. Smile

Nice pic - awesome to see a POD which is a little bit different.

Really looks like one of those 'alone in the woods' moments (apart from the photographer obviously!), where you and your bike just head down to the trails and blow off some steam.

Also from the POD choosing point of view, it's nice to see an average rider getting POD - because it's a nice shot, irrelevant of the skill level of the riding... Maybe one day I'll make POD (or at least I can live the dream anyway!).

I can see the point of view here... It would definitely be easier to get a photo of that puddle splash (that has obviously been created by a bike (or moses) from the shape of it) and get another photo of a rider and copy and paste them together... Than just taking a photo a dusk with a bright flash - thus giving it this lighting effect...

P.S Sorry if I broke your sarcasm detectors.

"Ohh I read the comment above about some photoshop noob who reckons they're a pro photographer (that uses copy & paste in photoshop LOL) and now I have to agree with them... That's 100% my opinion which I formed by myself, on my own"

Have I taken the piss enough yet?

Although tbh some of the lighting work my have been emphasized using photoshop, although I doubt it.
