Bike Ramp

Please offer critiques and comments on this photo. Thanks.

Very dynamic!!!

is it black and white or blue and white? i like it - i wish the biker 'popped' out of the shot a bit more, but is a great shot and i like your framing/composition. what digital manipulations did you do here (aside from the camera itself)?

My guess is Photoshop motion blur seems to be the most likely candidate. It looks good, especially considering all the layers you had to cut up and create so there wasn't any blur of the rider. Nice detail there.

 

I gave an aesthetics of 6, but almost 7, only because the motion blur is also a little too obvious/strong. I really like the tilted lines both the windows and ramp make, it helps set up the sense of imbalance to make this shot really move. I almost want to grab the arms of my chair so I don't fall out.

 

The duotone works well, too, as I assume there were probably a lot of loud/clashing colors. The blue was a good choice, as it's what we'd expect, looking up into the sky.

i dont care how you did it its great

Thank you!
