[JonMikal]

i used the wrong settings for these so i had to PS the backgrounds a bit:

thanks for looking!

I'm loving the first out of these. Whatever you did to the background works really well here IMO. The conversion technique is nice as well. I love the guy in the shades staring in jealousy at the kid in midair The building adds to the shot a lot, and you captured it perfectly! You are REALLY getting the hang of these action shots, and I think that this one is my fav so far

Excellent work JonMikal. I have looked at these and tried to pic one of the three, that I like best and cannot. Very well done!!!!!!!!

 

[Fadi]

I hope someday my good pictures are as good as your bad pics

the blur definitely works for me. especially in the first shot. i like it alot. as a skater myself, i truly enjoy these images

wish i was out there!

 

[Jeff Canes]

Very good, I hate you , less that month ago action shots were give you a hard time and now it looks as if you have got them, #1 is very good, but think I like #2 a little more, the DOF on all is little intense, I get the same effect sometimes shooting baseball, not sure if I like myself

I like how you've angled the camera in the first one. I'd never thought to do that with skate shots.

You sure can tell you did some work here. Being in B&W really works. The blur really isolates the skaters from the rest of the images and almost gives them a "po out" effect. Well done.
