@rich-and-famous-media... It ACTUALLY looks as if he is riding on a trail lol

All snide comments aside: this photo is actually really cool, it's an eccentric shot cause you don't see alot of shots from up high and the rider stands out really well cause of the trail, not to mention the stunning scenery.

Props to the trail building team for building a track that looks like a wanger when shot wide angle...

Not only is this a beautifully composed and executed shot- it's also plain refreshing to see a POD with both wheels on the ground.

that took a bit of postproduction, didn't it? love it how the trails pops out and how the forst turns dark - "here be dragons" hahaha

CookiemonsterMan (Feb 2, 2013 at 0:14)

looks like it. I don't think colours could quite "pop" that much from a photo with no postproduction. also the edges are faded/shadowed out to give it more of a framed look.

haydendmorrison (Feb 2, 2013 at 2:46)

Looks pretty simple editing really. Probably something like vignetting, colour vibrancy and white balance or something, nothing too tricky.

CookiemonsterMan (Feb 2, 2013 at 9:37)

yea but still some definite postproduction

brigand (Feb 2, 2013 at 11:36)

the lightning was great, no post production can do that

Angryham (Jan 28, 2013 at 8:29)
