It's definately a different angle.. I don't know if it's because I'm tired, or if it's the angle, but I'm finding it a little bit difficult to focus on where the rider is going.. In my opinion I think the angle is a bit much, but i probably don't speak for the majority..

The drop itself looks pretty sweet

thanks for your take... ive been torn with liking or not liking this picture since i took it. on one hand it makes the drop look bigger but it is alil disorienting.

thanks for your input though, i would still like some more comments

It's definately a plus that hes framed against the sky. But I have trouble telling what's actually going on. Are you referring to the tilt of the camera or the angle you're shooting from? If you didn't have the tilt I think I would like the angle. Like you said its just a little bit disorienting.

Isn't the person going from left to right? I LOVE this shot. How many bicycles against the sky are there? Not many when compared to the number of bike on the ground shots.

Seeing these MTB shots is making me want to go ride. lol. Too bad I have no time for it. But I like the angle itself, but like someone else said, I'm having a hard time focusing in on the landing point.
