Kenny Owens - Mistrial

After shooting this I used auto levels and an unsharp mask in

photoshop...i feel like it could look better had i handled it

differenty, your comments and suggestions are appreciated.

crazy kids these days...

 

good lighting, maybe a little bit less directional would help you out-- some more strobe up front to fill in the shadows? Or something higher up to fill in the dark space behind the subject?

Good framing, the stairs are a nice diagonal lead for the eye.

good use of diagonal, leads the eye to the skater(?). Shadows are a bit harsh ... did you have control over that? A more flattering angle for them might improve the shot?

you kids with your skateboards are extreme ....with a capital X
