[picturetaker1239]

this has nothing to do with flamenco.

This is a tough one to go at with a critique, but i can tell you that overall, the image captured my interest even though from a technical standpoint it all looks "wrong". What keeps me into this scene is the rustic appeal of this place and the worklamps lightinbg up the area in a raw flavor. i like the placement of the vertical beam on the right frame and moreso I like that the focus is on it. I get the feeling that I'm standing there next to it watching the scene. One thing bothers me mostly here is that i cannot make out the skatboarders head. It seems to be fading in and out of the background, paossibly from fast movement with a slow shutter . Had the boarder been caught in a more interesting, identifiable posture i would have thought this was very good.

You could almost call this "The Phantom Boarder". Very ghostly quality to the rider. An interesting effect.
