Nice pic!
my vote for POD
that is clearly photoshopped cause the wheel and his leg are just like part of i dont know what. i dont know what you were trying to achieve with the photoshop but it just look un orthodox. it is just not cool
i dont know what you are seeing, but i am seeing the wheel and foot covered by the roost of him ruining that berm
That is one of the craziest built berms I've ever seen. This shot just makes me think Nightmare Before Christmas meets MTB.
The only weird thing I see is the frame flexing. Look at the angle of the rear wheel compared to the front...
it's gotta suck to be a photographer and have photos like this that are so well taken that people acuse it of being photopped.
awesome photo!
awesome photo!
why do people insist that real life things are always photoshopped? and anyway this is a very delicious piece of work
Its because people don't know the difference between normality and a photo in which a flash has been used. Flash photography often show up looking sort of super-real, and therefore to idiots, photoshopped.
The rest appears blurred because the flash light freezes the action. Basic ignorance of photography. Robbo, don't insult talented people with your bulls**t.

damn yeah. this is nice, dude! props.! the "colors" are very cool... its a cool kind of contrasts i think... niiice 
Redrook's right, if you have a longish shutter speed and a flash pointing at the rider, the rider will appear crisp from when the flash has gone off as more light is taken in from the rider, everything else moving turns in to a blur. Its a sick picture and fair play to both photographer and rider!!! if you cannot appreciate other peoples skills and photography and riding, dont bother commenting!
HELLO!? IT'S NOT PHOTOSHOPPED!
gawdd.
everyday there is an idiot that just puts "shopped" as a comment.
even if it was shopped, it's badass.
so appreciate it and stop trying to be clever.

possibly but the riders crisp and the roost is blurred soo doubt it! and thats not natural lighting making those shadows so has to be a flash! wither way its a mint picture!!! 
It could be a high iso, but its still taken with flash (or looks like it). Also the pinkbike transfer wrecks the quality of jpegs.

i think its not photoshopped. its easy to set in your camera different picture style(e.g.contrast, sharpness, color tone) and it makes picture look like this just from cam..
for example heres pic i made http://mana69.rajce.idnes.cz/CP_Rokytnice_nad_Jizerou_13.9.09/#IMG_9849.JPG its not the same setup so it may looks different... but, theres no photoshop, thats what i wanted to say...

i know what u mean chris russle u can see the dirt haS BEEN mooved around and stuff like the dust hes creating.
yes.. the edge of the dust cloud has definitely been smeared/blurred/moved around.. i think the pic is def real, just the modified dust kind of ruins it for me as who knows what else was done... and dont go telling me that dust hasnt been touched cos it has(the smeared ferns and leg on edge of dust give that away..)
oh, i thought you ment the colours, i didnt noticed the blur, so now i agree with your"not loving the photoshop"
yeah didnt want to say much coz you know what the idiots are like on here. Whenever u say photoshop they neg prop you even though it blantently has been, but hey thats pinkbikes fault for letting small annoying kids join who know f*ck all lol
Even if it is shopped its irrelevant, that still doesn't make it any less valid. You think that photoshopping is easy!?
yea photoshopping is easy! thats why you get offers on PB from little kids wanting to color your bike or add effects to a picture for you using photoshop... most credited professional photographers pride themselves on not "photoshopping" their work, they prefer them as real as possible...it shows your true skill.
nice photo (awesome capture of the moment), but don't shop images, it makes them less appealing.

"most credited professional photographers pride themselves on not "photoshopping" their work" Where do you get that from? Having worked with professional photographers I can tell you most photographers photoshop their work to some degree. (Be it compositing backgrounds, changing colours, contrast, sharpening). Theres not a lot in photoshop that couldn't already be done in the darkroom. The ends justify the means.
Yeah, most professional digital photographers shoot in RAW format, so that they have complete hands-on control of the image processing; which is done using programs like photoshop.
yes, everyone photoshops... even the top dogs. It's part of the photography process.
There's no way a pro is going to shoot in RAW and not do some kind of post-processing.

yeah there is photo-processing and then ther is making a vortex warp hole coming out of a berm 
slightly different lol
slightly different lol
He can do what he wants with his own photo. Judge him when you do better. To me the vortex is overkill, but then again, i've seen lots of berm-railing pics without vortexs

photoshop ruined it - great pod none-the-less. (effing giant rocks tumbling in background..thats epic)
[Reply]
I dont see what people see in this pic, I think photoshop should only be used to enhance the image and not alter it. Plus this guy hasn't hit the line of berm, poor POD in my eyes.

not for me...the rider isnt properly expose, actually the cameraguy behind him looks like the main subject as he's perfectly lite.I think it coulnd t have been great shot with a different angle ( without the guy behind and more of wehre the rider is coming from ) and I dont like the OVER post processing work either...
look at that gimungus rock falling down the top left lol strange lol its on the track...
is that like the obstical course of the track...
fly down the track bunnyhop the rock and hit the burm on the wrong angle..
sick photo

Nice well shot pic but anyone can lock up the rear wheel coming around a turn. Would have been a much better picture had he been railing the berm and not destroying the inside of the turn. Obviously done for effect for the cameraman- LAME-O.

ya so, it's photoshopped and this guy is a hack, who rides berms like that? He has half of it left and he's already completely off of it
yeah all is hack haha i'm reading all comments and i don't know i was change saturation, contrast, bridgest and i used sharpen mask. that was on czantoria mountain and i have more photos from this track and from the same place like this one. but who cares...

why would people give -props for saying " I love those pictures you can see the fork compress"? Idk.. it strikes me as odd that he would have -46 props for sayi ng that..
i love the pic and looks liek he came into that fast but from my point of view the dust does look a little edited just with smudge or blur but still looks siick
[Reply]
Something does not look right with this pic. Why would anyone cut out of the berm and into the rough? The exit must be the reason for making such a turn, still something looks wrong here.
is it just me? or can u kinda see the bike's bent from the head tube. looks like it's twisted prabably from the force...sick photo anyway
def a nice picture. ill probably get yelled at but i beleive that photshoping is just part of photography and it all is does is merly alow a person to be more creative and enhance an already well taken photo
it's shopped in the way all photos are shopped, contrast and brightness and such. the same things photographers used filters and blockers to do before digital. it's not shopped like cut and paste, so nobody say that.
also anyone know what kind of helmet that is?

HELLO! JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR... this shot IS IN FAACT PHOTOSHOPPED. SORRY. If you dont believe me look at the plants between the camera guys legs. Its kinda obvious. Still a great edit tho. And dont argue with me. Ive been a photographer my whole life.
