oasis skatepark, san diego, 1983

about this one Syd. I get no sense of direction or depth. I'd like to see more of the bowl or maybe another angle. Right now it is too heavily cropped for my liking and looks more like an ill timed shot. Maybe if you shot it as a vertical?

The thing I tried to emphasize with this photograph is the interplay of the sunlit and shadow areas. The cropping was with the intent to split the two along the diagonal running upper left to lower right.

Regarding depth, the pool is 10 feet deep :-) I know first hand, check out this photo taken of me skating it about 5 months prior to my taking this photo.

I love just about any old school skate photograph. I have to agree with Henrik though, I like shots that show the depth. I have a few skateshots in my folders, check those out.

nice shot!
