Selected by Ian Hylands - What you choose not to light in an image is just as important as what you do choose to light. This is an excellent example of that. Colin has created a really cool looking image that could have very easily been over lit. Great composition, great light, and the riding is pretty awesome as well!

It's a neat picture, but just doesn't quite do it for me.
No disrespect meant for the photographer as it is a great picture, I just like color.

I get what you're saying, but I'd actually say this shot is better off without colour, the black and white really helps pick out the details like the little bits of dirt flying up from behind, and the lighting on the guy almost gives a ghostly feel, reminds me of the Thomas Vanderham section from Life Cycles!

if this photo wasn't black and white i can almost guarantee it wouldn't be POD. it gives the photo a really unique vibe and makes it stand out in a very good way. some photos are better off black and white and this is one of them. great job to the photographer.

Oh, don't get me wrong, this picture for sure looks better in black and white. I am just stating in general I like color pictures more. I'm in no way being a critic, and again, no disrespect to the photographer, he definitely made the photo look it's best. It is just not my preferred style of photogaphy is all..

Agree with your last post, there was a recent article on here with about 50 pictures all in black & white... by the end I was just thinking what's the point?
I think for individual shots like this one it can be really powerful but for the most part I like my pics bright clean & colourful.
