Per Rule #5 in the FAQ's (http://digital-photography-school.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10894), is there anything in particular you'd like critique on? I noticed your last thread didn't get comments. It would help us if we knew some more info like what you were trying to achieve, what you like, what you don't like, etc.

Please include the following information, if possible, with your image: EXIF info, type of camera, specific questions (What do you think? is not a specific question). A meaningful title, NOT "Critique Please", will also get your post noticed in a crowded section.

I like the curves, I like shot in general. I'm looking for opinions of what people see, how they would shoot it differently, or what I could do to make the shot stand out as a great shot.

In general I like the shot. I like your placement of the subject and the composition overall (although I am a beginner so I don't know how valuable my opinion is). Another perspective of this shot I would like to see is one from her front side that shows the road she's already traveled. Pretty much this shot in reverse, where you would be shooting "up" the road at her coming down towards you instead of from behind her watching her go. Cool shot! Kudos to her for having the guts to ride downhill like that - I couldn't do it.

Wow, looks like she could just fall over from that position....kids are amazing. I think you need to put a little more light on the skater and a little less on the trees to the right - a couple of ps adjustments would help.

I am no expert, but I might have shot at a higher ISO, and let more light in. But it is a good shot
