@dhiller661 Try to answer why there is way to much light. There is never to much light in a shot if you like what it's doing to the photo. There are no rules in photography, you make it how you like it. If he hadn't over exposed the image, the riders face would be black, like some other parts, I think this is a way better choise, it takes me there.

i think the landscape doesnt look good enough to make up for the distance from the rider
its a good shot but not quite a POD shot

It seems to be people here Love it or hate it!
Haha i'm going to take it up for this shot. Because I think this shot rocks and it's not something you see every day. It's really something else, although it's not a perfect shot to me personally, but I do see the beauty of it.
Overexposed:

The angle and composition:
Ok, you can step around the spot in a 360 degree angle, you can sit close to the ground or climb in a tree or hire a helicopter. You can find so many angles. What I like about this angle, you can see where he would go if he crashed over the combo. Ok, you will not fall hundreds of meters, but it could get you injured pretty bad. It's nice to see a shot that has not been taken from the riding path itself head on.
The landscape:
Ok, on the left side we see trees. what many people would have loved to see is a mountain or a misty sky or whatever. But ask yourself, is that so important to you? The trees are maybe less interesting, but it makes me focus more on the riding, the colors, the flare, dust, whatever.
To bright for my eyes(something else than overexposed):
Get yourself a Eizo monitor and calibrate it, you'll be fine. And not having a hangover may help also...
Nice POD!

Aight Katinasd , if you want a constructive criticism on exposure. Fine, the over exposure does work, but if he'd use a way higher f stop, in the region of f22 or more, at least the over exposed sun would have an aesthetically pleasing star burst as opposed to a bleached out blob which even swallows the tops od the trees

Nice shot, thats the same sort of look that i was trying to get with this photo here but the rider got in the way of the sun and the purple line was gone www.pinkbike.com/photo/5549654... still a great photo ..

you obviously have no appreciation nor understanding of the culture of the mountain bike lifestyle then, not to mention photography skills.
