I like the cluttered look of the photo. You can't see the trail, and due to the trees and roots you look at and wonder just how rough that trail really is. Is it a hand cut, narrow, dense, super gnar technical trail? Or did the picture just manage to capture the trail and rider in such a way that it looks major tech? Awesome pic either way. Great job submitter.

Dent (Sep 1, 2009 at 21:16)

hmm... well im looking more at the right side of the tree. it looks much more out of focus then what would be at the same distance on the left side of the tree... but could just be an optical illusion of sorts...
Don't want to start shit... just saying what i see.
