Selected by Matt Wragg - Solid composition, nice evening light and a good table - all good elements, but it's the unusual shape of the trees in the background that really put this shot apart for me.
Great Shot, and great POD for a change.... But can Pinbike get someone else to pick POD's besides Matt Wragg. Who cares about some stupid trees that look like trees
Select the pod is nice work. But if the person who does is lazy in their function and only looks for new quality photo where it is easier ... the profile of authors of previous POD ... (which to me is a lack of respect for others with quality photo authors). ..... this results in less and less interest on this page , not because the selected photos to POD do not deserve it, but because there are thousands of photos that also deserve ... and never are highlighted. My interest is just to see good photos ... and fortunately there are many in Pinkbike beyond POD .... Fortunately also, there are other persons in Pinkbike selecting POD ... and from time to time we have something new ....
Note: for me, the Wolisphoto 's work is fantastic !!!
this photo deserves pod, no question about it. But myself and others want to see pod's that are chosen because of a ridiculous trick or amazing line, not because the trees are a little tree-ish! Comon Matt wragg, this aint a flora site, it should be a mountainbike one!
Pinkbike is a mountain bike site but the photo of the day feature is about photography, not riding ability. Picking a good background, light, composition etc are just as important as the trick being laid down. If you want to see photos of the biggest tricks there are plenty of places on this site and others. If you want to see some really well shot, bike related photos then the POD feature is the place to go.
