background blur is shopped i think... by the look of the small outline around the rider.

looks nice though, so many advertisements to comprehend

Toopie (Jan 16, 2011 at 0:18)

Love how you can see where hes going, makes the picture!

+ 18

shawndogger (Jan 16, 2011 at 0:20)

I dont think it was shopped. im assuming this was shot with a 70-200 mm lense or higher. when you zoom into 200 mm, and your subject is close, the background will look like this.

wolfe38 (Jan 16, 2011 at 0:29)

you all need to stop worrying about whether or not it has been photoshopped. unless its a picture of a cow jumping over a moon, then who cares as long as the photo looks good. every photo has a little bit of editing in it.. so just dont worry about it! cheers.

philipstonier (Jan 16, 2011 at 0:33)

good quality picture... but i think it would be better with maybe the bike and some terrain in the photo as well? i dont say pod for this one.

wolfe38 (Jan 16, 2011 at 0:33)

i agree. bike would be sweet too, but then you wouldnt get the reflection in the goggles as well. i think its a nice picture.

joebunn (Jan 16, 2011 at 0:35)

Shawdogger, Toopie, this is actually a female.

Axemen30 (Jan 16, 2011 at 0:59)

this is f*cking awsome

Junior-DH (Jan 16, 2011 at 1:36)

Love the goggles

moonchav06 (Jan 16, 2011 at 3:21)

leboeuf (Jan 16, 2011 at 9:05)

Jammers91 (Jan 16, 2011 at 9:23)

Thank's to everyone for checking it out. This is the 2nd turn in the 2010 4x world champs track at MSA.
Keith did an awesome job on this shot.
if anyone's wondering what's on the bars next to the grip it's my physio's phone number.

lewismurphy (Jan 16, 2011 at 8:29)

what i don't get is, if sky sponsor british DH at the worlds why dont they put it on telly, simple

benjamin69 (Jan 16, 2011 at 16:24)

I like the pic ! If you race or have raced the racer here is focused and in the zone and that is what the shot captured and seized at that moment ! I like all the big air hits personally , but being an x motocross and bmx racer I can relate to that pic

Nice work Keith

Thanks for the Exif info...

si-paton Plus (Jan 16, 2011 at 11:34)

Good work Keith as always, Fionn rips!!
Fionn Griffiths is a girl, easy mistake for the keyboard warriors, they don't get to see many females i'm afraid.
Sky don't show MTB on their channel, they want the Sky logo on jerseys to be seen on other channels like BBC and ITV. That way it may encourage those viewers to switch channels onto Sky.

bmxtb (Jan 16, 2011 at 21:55)

If Im watching DH on BBC and Sky is not showing it, why on earth would I change the channel?

Kadelxly95 (Jan 16, 2011 at 8:33)

jchb (Jan 16, 2011 at 0:26)

yep nothing.....it might as well be a blank page.....end sarcasm

jptothetree (Jan 16, 2011 at 0:39)

ya dude you are retarded...

Rhpositive (Jan 16, 2011 at 1:51)

Matter of fact...you can clearly see Norco ''cough''sH*iT''cough'' sign (check my pics, I will tell you the Whole story, if you are interested) brand and SKY ''cough''clever greedy bastards''cough'', cause it is retarded to pay for watching TeleVisi-O-n - there is simply better things to not do with your life anD free of charge Smile

p.s.

by the way not my vote for Picture of the day and this advertTisement blows or should I say it sucks,no action or thrill efect in this picture but it is clever in subliminal way Smile

Rhpositive (Jan 16, 2011 at 2:11)

too bad i did not find ''edit'' button cause it also proudly says ''Leatt'' Wink

p.s.

My statements backfired cause I just realized internet access is not free of charge, makes me a retard as well Smile

anyway TV is still retarded.

JokerMachine (Jan 16, 2011 at 5:55)
