I like 1, 2 and 5 a lot! I think the subject gets a little lost in 3 and 4 though? In 3 maybe you could've snooted the flash, so as not to light the stairs themselves.. then the subject would be the bright part of the frame. 4 is a large frame, with the subject very small and not particularly bright, I think you need flash to overpower the sun here.

#2 keeps jumping at me though! really like this shot :thumbup:

These are really nice shots.

2 is my favorite. the composition, light is really nice, the sidewalk line and the angle is nice. You can totally see where is he going to land that nose grind.

I like the first one altough a cleaner background would have really made this image. The same can be said for the others as well. What I do like about all of them is that you didn't just stand and shoot like many we have seen on here, you looked past the subject and tied the background into it. The skater was lost in some of the backgrounds but it gives you soemthing moe to build on. Nice job at seeing what you're shooting.
