"Manual"
Photo shot on local trails with a friend of mine. I was trying out action photography - quite happy with one.
Was done with my APS-C camera and I switched to a FF soon after that. More photos are to come.
Any feedback is welcome!

Drawn to Abstraction
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.

dope!
I really dig it. I think the contrast between background and the subject really makes the subject pop. You have enough motion blur to create the feeling of speed. You caught the manual at a great time. (It always helps when your buddy knows how to, good on him). The only thing could nit pick on is the composition seems slightly off. It’s not terrible by any means. But with the slope of the ground, I’m curious to see what the subject would look like more towards the middle of the photograph. Great job man! You should be proud of this one.
Thanks Rob! Was my second try (and rather first real try) on this kind of pictures. Great to hear such a kind feedback.
Yes - composition was quite hard on this one, but next time I shoot I will definitely try to move him more towards the middle :)
