POD Photo of the Day on Jul 25, 2012

Selected by Ian Hylands - I really like the symmetry and pattern of the trees in this shot. I've often looked at similar patterns in tree farms, but never considered something like this. Great trick in a great location!

Because the photographer took the picture at an angle. I didn't think that was a hard concept to figure out.

i think its because hes lining the shot up with the trees instead of the ramp

rule of thirds, look it up

potatoracing2 (Jul 25, 2012 at 14:24) (Below Threshold)

i think its mostly so the photog isnt in the way of the rider dropping in...

rippin-norco (Jul 25, 2012 at 17:35)

potato, look at the comment above yours, and do what it instructs.

d-set (Jul 25, 2012 at 19:30)

paulwootton77 (Jul 26, 2012 at 3:03)

Love the simplicity of the scenery. Mixed with some great style and not really knowing where the rider lands leaves room for the imagination, Great photo!

In a perfect world...

pinkbike needs to put links for like full size downloads. im sick of blurry background pics we need atleast 1920x1080 pics please 3

saturnine (Jul 25, 2012 at 14:05)

it's not up to pinkbike, it's up to the uploader to decide on the resolution

rlucky82 (Jul 25, 2012 at 21:04)

Agreed size limit for pic of day should be minimum 1600 x 1200.

Aw shoot. I forgot to carry the two.

TKy5e (Jul 16, 2012 at 1:13)

DuthieRider (Jul 16, 2012 at 1:36)

The landing is in the ditch behind the lip.....focus

garrss (Jul 25, 2012 at 6:42)

actually he jumped from the grass and is going to land on the wood ramp, just an optical illusion

GarlandPhotography (Jul 25, 2012 at 6:47)

if thats the case he's not doing a great job at spotting his landing

garrss (Jul 25, 2012 at 7:10)

nope he's just in the middle of his 720

ScaryGerry (Jul 25, 2012 at 6:54)

would it be unethical to have this same jump setup surrounded by Tombstones? Wouldn't it make a great shot? This is cool too tho...

ScaryGerry (Jul 25, 2012 at 8:43)

I'm guessing it might be... Oh well, my therapist said I was doing so good too...

lostlunchbox (Jul 25, 2012 at 0:45)

welcome to pleasantville. love the freshness of the wood on kicker complimenting and contrasting it's surroundings at the same time. skills are 'aight too.

brycepiwek (Jul 16, 2012 at 0:29)

edge-academy (Jul 16, 2012 at 16:09)

Vissionz (Jul 25, 2012 at 8:20)

sortafast (Jul 25, 2012 at 11:45)

Karpiel073 (Jul 16, 2012 at 12:59)

jacobmolitwenik (Jul 25, 2012 at 14:25)

Honey, I reinvented the table

Gabe352 (Jul 25, 2012 at 17:05)

Rspanky (Jul 25, 2012 at 0:17)
