Amazing photo guys. Really love how creative this is. The colors also do it for me. You should enter this in some sort of competition. Try "Money Shot" hosted by NSMB.COM . I don't want to send you their over PinkBike.Com But I really think you could get something with this shot. -ep

I hope nobody thinks that the shot is actually coming from a camera in a car. The mountain in the reflection is the the same as the mountain in the far background. Well-done shop though, coupled with good riding.

flag gazmataz (Aug 25, 2009 at 2:59)
sorry my little Canadian friend but I disagree. Firstly, Look at the old Citroen CZ. The VRN is in reverse as is the CH (Short for Switzerland). If you look at the shadow lines on the main background you'll see that they line up different to the mirror. There for showing that the sun is in the same position IE the reflection is true.
Also the way the car is positioned show that its correct as the swiss drive on the wrong side of the road like the rest of the world?!!!!!! hahahaha. Oh and the main point is that the mountains in the reflection and background aren't the same.
It may have been photoshopped on the background to give the impression of speed if he took the picture from a stationary position but I'd say thats about it???

Really cool shot goldfinger. I like the idea and i think it works really well. two thumbs up....
