POD Photo of the Day on Mar 13, 2012

Selected by IanHylands - This may not be the worlds largest backflip, or even a really big one, but it's a great shot. I'm loving the light, and the way that his kit matches the trees. Great composition as well, the diagonal line is fairly well placed, as well as the rider... oh, and he's freeride backflipping which is never a bad thing...

( 13 PODs )

"....This may not be the worlds largest backflip, or even a really big one....."

Still about 200 feet higher than I'll ever get! :/

Great shot.

Shredder-boy (Mar 13, 2012 at 9:20)

Yeah man it is sick! Just go and backflip off the side of a mountain - piece of cake!

the joys of free translators. Zdumienie fotografii

Draggon (Mar 13, 2012 at 0:39)

Haha, I was born in Poland and I still don't know what the hell they're saying. I just know the cuss words......

nhp890 (Mar 13, 2012 at 6:02)

there's a reason why these translators are free, 'zdumienie fotografii' doesn't mean 'amazing photo', i think that's the phrase you tried to translate

pedalsanpixels (Mar 13, 2012 at 15:39)

What does it mean?

nhp890 (Mar 14, 2012 at 2:37)

wonderment of photography, something along these lines

pedalsanpixels (Mar 14, 2012 at 12:32)
