 Its my f*cking opinion. You guys are all f*ggots and don't respect other peoples opinions. Opinions are rights and privileges so you guys can have your opinion and I can have mine. Also all you f*ck faces think that this is the "best photo ever" then why wouldn't this be P.O.D. www.pinkbike.com/photo/7478603

Oh and by the way your all really stupid and narcissistic, if you f*ggots know what that even means!

 Jack, I respect your opinion. But there are more socially accepted ways to say you don't like this photo. In general, it is better to not say it at all, because nobody who enjoys or comments te photo will be interested in someone saying he doesn't. That's more or less a general known rule here. Many have learned from it, others keep trying.

 jack, POD is not all about it being the 'best photo available that day' it takes other things into account, like Ian explains in the explanation.

is that stupid and narcissistic, whatever the f*ck that means? Smile

 Both guys you are right . . In my opinion this is no POD but you can say it with a delicate way . . by the way Narcissistic in a ''free'' translation is the guy who acts like there is nobody else in the world except him.(from the greek ''NARKISSOS'')
You must learn some greek too . .

 I agree with RobbyBriers... and calling someone f*ggot or stupid just because they don't agree with you or neg prop you is just childish. I find it ironic that jack1201 is calling everyone who doesn't agree with him narcissistic. Made me laugh.

and for everyone who doesn't know what narcissistic means, here: lmgtfy.com/?q=narcissistic

 I love these kinds of photos. My first photo professor would have marked this failing because of the out of focus foreground, but I for one thing that can add a lot to an image. It draws your eye right to the rider having him be in focus and everything else falling off due to a narrow depth of field. The rider is nicely placed in the top left third. The colors of the rider's cloths and tape compliment each other nicely.

 Totally agree, having the subject pin sharp and everything else blurry is the key to great sports photography.

 Amazing color combinations! His clothes, the bike, the stick on the right side and even the railing!

 Thirds everywhere? The line separating the trees and the ground is almost smack in the middle.
  • 1 0
 it's kinda hard to catch, but actually to the bottom left is the out of focus foreground, which gives away to the jumps in the middle ground which are in focus, and jumps back to the out of focus trees in the background. That may be one of the thirds Ian's talking about.. another thing I see is the use of the the golden number..(Ian actually gives a more detailed description of it in his tutorial on composition), but the foreground and middle ground divide the the photo in half, and then the rider being positioned to the left of the upper half divides the upper half again. Also maybe the fact that the riders line of path, and the jump are criss-crossing with the multiple lines of tape dividing the shot into thirds where those lines cross.. But Those lines seemed bunched so that may be a weak argument. Just how I broke down the photo anyway.
