Hello everyone,

Took this about a while ago and wanted some critique on the composition, possible better positions to shoot from, and anything else you guys think could be improved

If you want to get a feeling of how high he is above the lip, shoot from a lower angle. Pay attention to your background.

If you really trust the boarders, lie at the bottom of the transition and shoot up and have them look at you at the apex of the trick.

thanks for the feedback i had a couple where i was below him at the bottom of the transition but because he's a regular footed boarder, it was basically a shot of his arse :P

I will keep your tips in mind for next time though

Like QuoFan said, pay attention to your background. Although the kids in the background are not a eyesore they don't necessarily add anything either.
I do imagine however, a skate/BMX park would be hard to shoot with NO kids around.

Nice pic tho!
