Daniel Pfeifer at B29 Trails in Schorndorf, Germany - photo by Laue

Photo of the Day on May 7, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Sterling Lorence - Solid amplitude and execution of the no-foot-can. Nice work with the composition here, building in the line of the bridge, foreground jumps and the pocket of space for the rider. The image takes you on a visual ride to the left side of the photo...could have been better with a trick that points to the right towards the setting sun, and bringing some nice side light onto the riders face and body. That would also balance out the movement of the bridge. Low sun warms this up and makes you want to hit your locals trails...

It was gonna happen sooner or later. Shouldn't interfere with the fact that this deserves POD 100%

Glorious Photography, beautiful use of leading lines, foreground interest and lighting and a sick trick too. POD all the way

duncanp (Apr 29, 2011 at 14:30)

oh yes, lighting is spot on and that curvy road is something else wouldn't mind seeing this as a DJ pod.

surprised to see this is shot on a D200, the depth of field feels almost full frame!

don't quite know what it is but something about this looks fake/composited :/

kaijumps (May 8, 2011 at 0:10)

its the contrast between the jumps and rider in the foreground and the trees in the back. i thought the same thing.
