These are great! Can't pick a favorite as I feel they are all great. I do like the last one in b/w, but I like the color ones also :thumbsup:

Thanks very much for the comments so far everyone! Much appreciated. I like the 3rd one best myself. It was fun giving this a try, wish I would have had more daylight hours to shoot more

Thanks and feel free to comment on these further for those that havent.

Take care-Jared

Maybe a little rough, since the photos do not have any snow.

Tell me about it...I wish we had some snow here. Everything we have is man-made! Minnesota has had little to no snow this season. Its really sad.

What place did you go too to shoot. Welch has a kickass park this year with a lot of nice boxes and rails.

I LOVE the 1st one.. makes you think he's on a huge jump.

I also really like the 3rd one.. The lighting and the peek of the tattoo are awesome (okay I'm a tattoo freak, so maybe its just me )

this was taken at Hyland Hills in Bloomington. I work there part-time, and thought it might be fun to try some different shots out.

Thanks for the comments...The jump was actually a pretty big one over a spine. He was probably about 6-7 ft in the air at time I released the shutter. He was actually starting to come down.

Thanks again!

btw kylie, on the third shot, When I was shooting, I thought I would have to scrap the shot because I thought his a** was hanging out of his pants. The boxers or whatever the dude was wearing blended in and you couldnt see what was taken in the preview on the camera.

The tattoo on his back is pretty cool though, not sure what it says, I didnt know any of the boarders...They were "hamming" it up for the camera though! It was pretty funny, bring a camera out, and people start going "BIG" I know I'm the same way though

Later on..
