Exactly what don't you like about it? I think it's a cool shot, and it's focussed allright and all...

thanks again for your comments. i always appreciate them.
as far as metering, what would you suggest i meter off of? i split the difference between the sky and the quarter. as far as a flash goes, i have one but i need more practice with it. any suggestions to improve my flash skills? the brightness is always way too bright or no where near bright enough.
i think one of my problems is letting people rush me before i'm ready. i know i should take a few test shots but i give into people wanting to hurry up.

Bret,
I think you might want to look at what your metering for in more of your photos. Your look back and this photo have the same characteristics of having this nicely light background and a mildly grey/black forground that should be the focus. Possibly changing what your metering off of, or spending the money on a flash or two would really spark up your photos.
Again, nice trick, cool location, but it doesn't speak to me. Your photo of the tail whip off the bench/planters is, IMO, MUCH MUCH better. I can see the riders face clearly and the trick is also clearly defined.
I think you've got real talent, but you need to explore some more techniques as far as action sports photos go.
Try this page...
http://www.theskateboardmag.com/photographs/
There are great photos of skateboarders from some of the best action sports photographers out there. #9 strikes me as something you might like. Exposed for the background, the flash is set at an exposure for the same as the background. The result, as you can see is much more vividly stunning. If the rider was dark, or a sillouette, this photo wouldn't work at all. It might cost you some money, but with that digi camera you have, you should be able to tweak out your exposures and times to the point where you get every photo right on the money.
Make sure to shoot a bunch of test shots of your friends standing in the spot where its going to go down as a way of testing out your exposre before hand... it helps out bunches. May take longer, but in the end, you'll have a better photo.
I hope you're diong well and I can't wait to see some more work.
Cheers
Toby

I might put up a color version and/or a sequence. That white rail on the front left drives me crazy, its too white. I tried replacing the color but that didn't seem to help, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Bret,
I think that a pure black sillouette would look fine. But you've got to expose for that when you shoot it. I think if you burned in your buddy after the fact with PS it might not look quite right. In any regard, its worth a shot.

Bret,
I like this composition alot. I like the sky the best, its wonderfully exposed! I think the fading light in the concrete bowls works very well also. And I love those crisp clear power lines comming from the rider the right of the photo. The rider himself worries me though. It becomes hard for the average viewer to see exactly what he's doing. He is the main focus of attention, and it seems like he should be the one you see best. You and I might know what a lookback is, but for anyone else its just a guy on a bike doing... something. I think you could really benifit from a flash here. Maybe a couple! But one on or off camera flash could have REALLY sparked this photo up. It would have taken it from a nice photo of Elli's sillouette to one that you could possibly send in to Ride or BMX for their photo sections. Keep up the good work. Keep shooting and stay focused. Try some flash work in your action shots it will help tremendously.
Cheers
Toby

Nice pic. Background a little busy drawing the eye away from the subject. Would try differnt perspective and blur background with larger A value.
