seeing as it is called PICTURE of the day. not so much,

Nikster, it's not zoomed in to show you how huge the drop is.

the lighting is the sun, not too much anyone can do about it

and sequeneces are a really good way of showing action.

it is POD and it's not that bad, it is just some pictures of a pro doing a HUGE 3.

distortion - I dont think thats a fair shout! Its on pink bike not everyone uploads maximum quality because it takes too long, depending on connection. also its an awesome shot! ben 321 i so agree it doesnt look like the claw landed! would love to hear from someone who knows the outcome

still, its a fantastic photo and only i could dream of completing a 360!
