Yeah, into the jaws. Three Adidas stripes taking on the pavement under the bridge. Can't decide whether you should have left so much of it in the foreground. Lucky they didn't skate on your head down there. Best, -Hugh
I wasn't sure of this one, Brendan. I had to look quite a bit and it has grown on me. What really strikes here is your relentless experimentation, original horizontal-stripe perspective, and this alone makes the shot alive. The colours of the graffiti really pop, and the skateboarder's movement caught in the air is very nice.
How does inspiration come to you? I also go through such phases...

Nice, brave low POV to put a special spin on these skaters. I tell you what, Brendan, I can see you going far in your photography of street sports (and otehrs) from an absolutely unique standpoint. It's building into quite a body of work. ou've got my vote, man. Keep'em comin...

Hi brendan, I do like the way you cropped this one with just the legs of the skater and our eyes are directed towards the guy in the middle tagging in a very elegant manner the wall. I do like the vast surface left to the soil! Well done Brendan
Eric
Brendan, this is a good idea of POV, however I think that it suffers a bit from the lack of foreground with this half composition, like a used ciggy or something on the ground...
Hum yeah, inspiration, it happens, many times...
Hi Brendan, very good!
i like a lot the perspective on the pavement, the low POV is very good here....
my eye goes directly on the high part of the image..
there is also a good contrast of colours/no colours between the high and the low part of the shot..
and after the action of the moment with the blur on the skate and the painter at work..
i like it!
ciao!
Valeria
