    nice colors.. the "no ground" look really gives the feeling of height. The clouds are a nice bonus but I think the focus might be a bit soft. Wait till the pro's comment and I'll find out if I am correct =)

    Well, it does seem a tad soft but that might be due to shutter speed rather than focus. I would darken the blue a little and crop a little space out behind the rider to position him better and add a little more visual tension to the image.

    I like the angle, good action, but agree the image needs more punch in the colors. Looks like the biker is flying.

    I would like to see a tighter crop, or, if using this image, a reference point in the image to give an indication of how high he really is. A bit sharper would be good as well. Also, try getting in front of the jumper so you can get his face in the image. Facial expressions really make for great shots and I'm sure these guys could give you some great ones with this sport.
