Catching Air, Study Red, Black and White

One of the coolest stunt riders around, Jesse, performing for the

kids at the Elk's Kid's Summer day in Madiera Beach, Florida.

 

Your comments are always welcome. Glenwood

Really love the color accenting! ^_^

Good use of selective black and white. The spectators are iffy, in my opinion. The guy on the right with the camara is the most obvious to my eye. In general, a supercool photo. The stunt guy almost looks like a ninja here! :) kw

Marla and Kasey,

 

Thanks for your comments.

The back ground is certainly a distraction; the stunts where performed in front of the Elk's Lodge on a side street that was blocked off by the police. There was no clear shot, so I decided to remove the color from the background in order to make it less noticeable, and to make the bike and Jesse "pop" more.

 

Again, thanks for your comments.

I love the color / B&W composition of this. When I saw the thumbnail I thought you had captured one serious crash. I'm glad to find out that's not the case. He is getting some serious air!

 

.. and pop it does Glenwood! What a fine action picture and an astute way also of fazing out the background. The attention really focuses on the rider ... and where on earth does this young man land again .. :-)

John,

 

Actually, during this trick Jesse lands on the ground BEHIND the bike; grabs the rear of the bike; runs behind it and then jumps back on the bike, WHILE it is moving!

 

Oh, to be thiry years younger!
