Thanks John! Yes, I used a Sigma 530 Super flash in FP mode for faster shutter speeds knowing with the high sun that people's faces would have some hard shadows on them without it. It definitely helped!
I used to read a lot of Thrasher magazine as a teen and always loved those fisheye photos taken from the top of a half pipe or the lip of a bowl so I was trying to emulate that style.

I was considering 'shopping my shadow out but decided to leave it in because it was there and I don't mind it. Do you think it matters?
