A mountain biking shot that I like a lot

[ThoughtfulPirate]

I took this the night before i left for Utah. I like it a lot. I saw the sky and tried the shot with flash, but decided it would work better without. Please tell me what you think.

That is quite professional but looks very set up. Still, a very nice image.

What do you mean by "very set up"?

Everything about the photo screams "Professionally Done". The sky is just right, the exposure is spot on, the rider is in just the right spot. I hope that you took a lot of effort to get such a nice shot.

Otherwise you must be the luckiest photographer in the world.

Excellent - reminds me of the movie "ET" a little...

Ok yeah then, my bike was actually packed up for traveling, so I was just photoing that evening, so I saw that sky and told brad to get his arse up for another run, it took a few times to get it perfect though.

This is a great shot... what you are talking about being "setup" I think it just everything coming together, it is so great. The bike being above the tress, and the sky... woow !!... very well done.
