That is interesting, my eyes are pulled to the right side. Not towards the rider though, more the less the rock and landing. (Probably due to the brightness of the snow) It would be interesting to run this photo in one of those psychological experiments to see why one side of the brain is attracted to one side of the photo. I should know this as I just took psych but god know I didn't pat attention.

And to comment on the sharpness of the rider, I agree. If you stare loosely at him, his legs blend into the back ground and it looks like an upper body riding just the front end of a bike.... Maybe that's just me though?

 I don`t know... maybe at this resolution it may look like he`s not sharp, but at XLarge it looks pretty good.
It`s a sick shot in my opinion.

 @nittygritty.....snow?!?!?

 Can we appreciate this shot for the GNAR of it? So gnarly, so awesome!

 I was going to mention what snow but thought it was just me being foolish. Doesnt show much snow on my ipad?

 wanna know what i never understood.. why everyone is so picky and always have something negative to say about a great picture.

 I had to pull up the XL to make sure it wasn't snow. Snow was my first thought which would make this super sketchy. Still an impressive line though.

 Both my eyes crossed when I looked at it.

 @billy i only mentioned the snow in response to the previous two comments, the first being the one commenting on the snow which i found odd as i couldn't see it, the second being the response which affirmed that i was not alone in not seeing snow.
Not criticising the photo just adding to a thread that had crossed my mind. I don't really have an opinion on the photo today so for now i will stop typing.
Sulk over......
^^^^^ nice to see protour, missed your comments, have you been away or have i not been looking hard enough

 Crazy c*nt !!! ..... no landing

 Logged on just to give props to protour. Not everyday that happens.

 Wheres he been, haven't seen any of his unique brand of opinion in a while.

 I looked at this photo on my phone. So yes on a 3.5" screen it looked like snow...

 My eyes went straight to the tree stump because i'm specccaiiillll

 my eyes went straight to the picture. and my mouse went straight to the "add to favorites" button.

 It's called mountain biking. On mountains there are usually trees. Traditionally, one would perhaps try and take a photo with no trees in front of the subject. But pretty soon, taking photos like that gets boring. So to summarize, it's a mountain bike photography sort of thing going on here

 Yep!!!

 sorry POD not POV
