 @ Weasal01
The reason why this is POD and yours isnt is because this actually demonstrates some serious camera skills, using off camera flash, panning for the blurred background etc. the suggestion you made did not demonstrate these skills, its the kinda shot that looks like it was taken by a 12 year old using a compact point and shoot. Ok the terrain is gnarly but thats not what gets POD, POD is reserved for shots showcasing great camera skills and riding skills.

This photo is great in my mind. The only thing that could be improved would maybe be to touch up the bit of lens flare on the top of the rear tyre and riders leg. however I think the photographer has done well to get this low a level of flare when shooting straight into a powerful flash.

 You aren't supposed to see Rim lights :/

This isn't serious Camera skills, any idiot could place a flash there. There's no thought to light position or composition.

 thanks DH-BK! And thanks for the helpful and constructive criticism, Stoked and djbruno! I looked through your albums and really learned a lot...

 I'm just saying, And I don't post on Pinkbike you can check my flickr if you wish. I'm just stating plain and simple that there were better shots that could have been pod today. People just seem to love flash's in pictures though

Not saying any of mine would make POD either.

 Holy shit. One comment and zero favs on a POD? I've gotta get up at 7am more! Razz
  • 13 16
 A POD without faves! Razz But POD worthy...

 the flash like hurts my eyes. Im just curious. why do so many freeriders wear a skate helmet with goggles? like why not a full face? i think it looks wierd.

 Surely there are better photos to choose from than this for POD?

 it is kinda cool...

 Pinkbike's getting way too picky, this is an amazing shot showing both good riding and very skilled photography. If you don't like it don't look
  • 9 10
 dont know why everyones says its not good enough to be pod. It obviously is good enough, otherwise they wouldnt have picked it.
  • 32 4
 or you could just look and before commenting think how hard it would be to find 365 incredible, non-dissputable, and not used before photos every year. The POD is not a magazine cover. It's a cool photo of someone biking, that you probably would not have found otherwise. Instead of bitching, go ride your bike with a friend and get a better photo.

 ^^^they have plenty of rampage pictures to choose from! where did they go?

 @frshortstufffr: Hardly great photography if he can't be bothered to think about his flash placement and composition.

 i'm pretty sure the blurred branches in the back was not intentional, especially with where you have your flash positioned, but that's not to say i don't like it tho

 I love this picture! however...i DID expect rampage PODs for like a week just like from Crankworx.

 the blurry branches were intentional. he was doing it in a few other photos that night..check them out on the brodie link he posted or his album

 That just means he didn't change his settings after the first accident

  • 3 1
 Agreed, terrible shot. Just like yesterday, hardly anything going on, and the composition wasn't too flashy either. Lift your game Pinkbike. This site is going downhill (pun not intended).
