Wow, #2 and #3 are fantastic. I am more into surfing than skarteboarding, but I really enjoyed these shots!!

#2 for the colours/ landscape.
Is there an external lightsource, which spots on the skater?

#3 for the perspective
Great that you can see the skater's face. Nice symmetry with the feet, arms and the board + board facing down! Very cool shot! I am sure the rider would be willing to pay a fortune for this ;-))

Brett, cool shots. No.2 colours are very nice,
No.3 is a really cool shot, both worthy entries as is.:):

But for me I'de be disappointed if you didn't enter the last one. Very good. :thumb

I'd like this one cropped closer. I don't think you need the "scene" the in the air shot with the skateboard says Skateboarding to me.

Hey Brett,

I have to agree with Dee's selection of photos. That last photo is very very cool.

Congrats.

Ahhh... I truely like the overall feel of the last one. Nice composition, and the B&W toning of the suroundings gives focus to the reflection.

I'm a fan of these two, I'm also a fan of skating and snowboarding but it's not cold enough yet... I like the second shot a lot, but in my opinion you shouldn't crop it anymore the shadow (of what looks like a kickflip) is awesome and 6 is perfect too in my opinion... What are you shooting with? And do you have a site I could check out? Sweet shots as far as I'm concerned ---from a 21 yr old photographer :thumb
