Nailed it - good capture...

Now it's time to clean it up - remove the power lines, other stuff - get rid of the sensor dust spot...brighten it up, etc... it's a picture worthy of some post work...

Those two guys on the bikes are good. Looks like they are using some kind of force field to hold him up there.

Cool shot, yeah there is some junk on your sensor or lens. I would bump up the exposure a bit and maybe a little saturation.

Looks like the guy is going to literally get caught in the lines above him.

I love this website!

Show 'em an amazing capture and the first thought is, "Sensor dust".
Time to clean the sensor...
Nice capture, despite a dirty sensor....
Great website! Great photographers participating!
Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I need to clean both bodies but won't do a serious one until after I get baack from the desert.

That shot has nothing done to it yet other than to rotate, so of course I will crop and that already cleans out the sensor dust (RAW file is 14mg+) section. Not sure if I want to remove much of the background such as power lines. Some of the other shots I have makes it look like they are using the ramps to jump the power lines! (showed some of the shots to the guys and they thought those were cool- BTW the inline skater is a World C hampion X Games Champ from a couple years back and the BMX guys are all pros. I will be putting more up at the DEEP ELLUM ARTS FEST ALBUM this week.

Also that is not a burst shot but one single on that part of the jump.
