Photo of the Day on Feb 23, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Ian Hylands - I really like how dark this image looks. The rider is well lit and I like the action, but the background really makes it work. Black dirt and white trees... This is one of my personal favorite types of corner shots, fall away corner where the rider is coming out of corner off the ground.

This really is a beautiful picture, and very awesome! I love how the trees blur-out but progtrssively in levels. Makes it look almost like a painting. Also, wow, can u get any sharper?
