Thats pretty nice 
I've watched video of you doing that and I still can't believe what I saw... Man, you're GREAT, as great as this photo is! It'd be hard to paint it on paper, and on the computer - IMPOSSIBLE, but you've made that! Whoa! I don't know if I'm worth of congratulating you... such a nice picture

what i find real amussing is that people are always so hard up onPB about photoshop pics or pics that have been tampered with, now everyone is creaming in their jeans over this. like i said in a comment down the page, the dude has talent and i respect his skills as a computer artist but id much prefer a real shot by a good photographer of a good rider. my P/O

im not hating, but i think the original looks heaps better. i think in this day and age there is too much tampering with photos and it takes away the rawness of what that photo actually is. you have mad ass skills for it and thats awesome bruva but in my personnel opinion i prefer pics that are all rider and photographer.

Not all of us have a grand to spend on a good camera; you can only do so much with a compact and for all that they can be fun they never look as good as one taken with a lense that is about ten times the size

i was once told by a pretty good phtographer that it sometimes doesnt matter how expensive your gear is, its about the idea. if you have a good idea you can work wonders. just gotta think outside the box a little.

thanx for that, but what I menat was that the original would have been taken by a race photographer who you can almost garranty had ann expensive camera and if all the counts is the idea why do professional photographers go and buy ten grand cameras when they could probably get a digital camera for fifty pounds/dollars/euros if you looked hard enough. its like if you had a firework and the idea of getting to the moon doesn't mean your going to get there. Therefore i think that if the pic had ben taken with a compact camera then it would look worse than the painting because it would not have as much detail.
