Photo of the Day on
Feb 26, 2011
Selected by Margus Riga - This is a great shot on a lot of levels. The composition is perfect with the rider, takeoff and landing, all in the shot. It really gives perspective and takes your eye on a trip through the shot. The flash on the rider also pulls more attention on him and makes him look nice and crisp. And finally, it's a big-ass super flip.

This shot may be photoshopped but this shot is totally possible with proper lighting!!!
This is doable by having a huge flash going off just out of frame at the subject to over power the ambient back lighting to make the rider "pop" more in the picture.
C'mon you guys, enough with the "shopped" comments. Every photo I take goes through Photoshop (RAW Image files need conversion to Jpeg)
Learn a few things about lighting and shut your mouths!

The only reason the perspective looks off is because of the angle. The shot wasn't taken directly from the side, notice how much of the underside of the ramp you can see. That's why it looks like he went up instead of out.

I just deleted all the "Photoshopped" comments in this thread. There is nothing photoshopped about this photo other than probably some color correction that Sebas did. Just because you don't understand how something was done doesn't mean it's fake, please think about things a bit and read the posting etiquette if you're unsure of whether or not to say something.

Everybody who say it is not real or photoshoped dont know what they say.
All photos are photoshoped, but just to make it look better for your crappy eyes. The jump and the trick is like that, and it is real.
Just watch the video, wich it is "photoshoped" too with adobe premier, sony vegas or other software... but it is real.
A Jump, a trick and an image.
What it is not real is Andreu...

thanks but if you read the file info or the comments above you'll see that it's Sebas Romero's shot, not mine.

Even though its not a watermark I hate people who complain about watermarks on photos. they`re there for a reason. If you want a large copy with out it ask the photographer if you can buy a copy if it bothers you that much
Anyways sick photo (pretty sure its Sebas shot too) and Andreu has always had the best Superflips in Mountain biking!!

My B, I thought the random R on the ramp was a watermark. The R is still a photo killer though. I have no beef with watermarks as long as they aren't overbearing. Peep Knoxrider's pics, that boy knows how to drop a classy watermark.

wow its photoshopped, you can tell because there is a black outline around the guy and that wouldn't happen if it was real
