Very, VERY cool stuff man.

[HtownNick]

aww dude thanks... it means alot when people comment my work...

[skaterat]

Black and White pics look cool. Nice job!
Just work on getting the whole skater in the pic.

[HtownNick]

thanks man... nahh you want to keep most of the emphasis on the trick not so much the person... i guess its a point of view thing.

[AlmostJeff]

It looks cool man, but a different angle would have been a bit better. It still looks cool though.

[Breene]

Try laying down and getting the camera as low as possable for a cool angle... I love black and white so that cool. I also think you need the whole person in it as well.

[admiralfutch]

I think the cut off looks cool

[HtownNick]

yeah for those who like to have input... remember this was shot 35mm... black and white "film" then i developed it in a darkroom.

[snow_skate]

[TimBartov]

nice photo.. i like black and white style.. here one of mine b&w works...

[Skate or Try]

Its developed well -> contrast is good.

The composition is weak. So heres some pointers;

- You cant see his face. No one wants to see an ass
- Its shot at eye level...boring
- He;s centred - Rule 1, keep it off centre. RUle of thirds etc.
- You cut his head off. Frame it right
- Try get rid of all the dead space

considering i have been in photography since my freshman year (3 years) i think i know a bit about photo... and before you give me your bullshit pointers lets see you get on the ground with a 35mm camera and get a shot like that. when i see it ill take your advice.

composition 70% of the frame is filled. since this was done 9 grid. it looks pretty damn good. it has hella good shadows and hella good clarity. plus centered ? centered would be him and the object hes on smack dab middle of the photo show me how that works out.

i would like to get feedback on differnt angles not on the compostion of it.

thanks

Once again, cool B & W effect, but I'm still with Skate or Try. I prefer to see the whole person. My two cents.

3 years! hmmm maybe your right .....then again i've been publsihed in ride and am on a skate mag staff so whatever.

if you can't accept the critique then give up photog.

3 years well spent, huh? don't give someone shit because they say something isnt right with your work, arrogance when learning is possibly the worst trait, and yes, you're still learning.

This isnt' that great so dont come off thinking it is, dont step up to criticism just take note of it and use it to your favour. You should be able to take criticism from any party, regardless of proficiency in a certain field, people are entitled to their opinions no?

just basically stop being such a goon.

[jack_morris]

i agree with skate or trys points

[Breene]

Screw you man we are giving you constructive criticism... Why the hell did you even post if you didnt want people to tell you what they thought.
