Good photo, but not enough to be pod in my opinion.

Whip Crackin! Btw, BobbyBriers must be a spandex monkey... Those superduper shots of them taken with a happysnapper going down a single track with fear in their eyes, a butterfly and some pebbles probably makes him cream his spandex longs... I've seen better POD from the Palmer ranch too, but this is the best of the day, and pretty damn cool so stop whimpering, go eat an energy bar and take a spin on your trainer man! Fo**en Prawn! Yeee Hawww Prof Palmer these peeps obviously aren't photographers!!! loving these shots!

This pic is pretty cool, Just would maybe have a different Angle and make it clearer for pod, But hey, Its not photoshopped like most the shit on here. so props dude. Also @-FoRREST-SS, I was riding down my sidewalk the other day, I smashed into a BMX'er I was on my Kona Stinky, He faceplanted into the Cement. I said, f*ck BMX'ers and just kept going. He didnt get up.
!! Sick picture!- 1 1
cool pic as far as lighting and stuff, but come on I can whip better than that. This is one of the first PODs I genuinely think shouldn't be POD.
Here come the neg props because I stated my opinion.

This is not worth to be POD, I think. Everything is deformed in a random way, it's not that de deformation adds something positive to the photo and those 2 people in the background are annoying to look at. The rider nor the bike look sharp. No POD in my eyes. I'd even say this is not a photo made by Eric Palmer.

I don't care whether it is wide angle or fisheye. In this case, the deformation doesn't add to the photo, so it's ridiculous. That is my statement concerning the use of a very wide lense. It's not that it was needed at that spot, because there is no valuable information on the photo in or near the edges. Now, you probably don't care, because all you do is chill?

this POD is so sick the fisheye just makes it amazing and im lovin the people in the backround, so much valuable information on the photo

No there isn't any. A simple whip, a usual point of view, not enough sharpness (or if you prefer not enough unsharpness either). A fisheye does not make every photo look amazing. People on a photo usually add a suggestion of life, but here there's one behind the front wheel of the bike, which makes it very messy. The backpack and the orange vest also disturb my attention that should go to the rider.
