First post to a group, open to CC. If you are familiar with Mpls you have probably seen the Cherry and Spoon statue at the Walker Sculpture Garden, this is a nod to that iconic MPLS landmark. These were taken at the MPLS Aquatennial skate contest hosted by Familia Skate shop/park.
The more I continue to age the more I seem to be drawn to images that retain a level of familiarity, but draw me away from the realities of life.
One of my favorite waterfalls I've photographed in recent years. deep in the backcountry of Vancouver Island lies this pristine oasis.

These are great. The timing is pretty good. Maybe a little early on the flip but I'd accept it. Typically they like the shot just before the catch. Only other thing I'd say is try to move around a little more. This is a good angle but changing it up can be great. The main thing for me is that you didn't do the floating guy thing that a lot of new extreme sport shooter do. Gotta see the rider, the board and what theyre riding for context. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback. I agree these three are a little repetitive, all obviously came from the same spot. Best angle I was able to get with the crowd, and the lens (70-200) that I was shooting. Took a few from other spots and they just weren't my favorite.Great tip on the kickflips, I will pay more attention to board placement. Appreciate the comment!
Right on, keep killin it!
