Just messing around on the second with slow shutters and the likes, first is me doing a terrible wallride, camera set up by me button pushed by someone else.

All critism welcome, i know they are shitty.

Yeh the shadow in the first one is cool, I also like the way it's lit (car headlights?) gives the shot some form of border.

Well you cant call the first one crappy unless your talking about the riding  only kidding.

The way you got the flash set up iluminating the wall is really good, the angle is also excelent.

Not so sure about the 2nd one, if you feel like spending miles to much time in photoshop i think it might look quite good if you remove the rider to leave the shadow on the building

no1 is good, try cropping out the right hand side a bit, see what that looks like?? then make the right hand slighty darker!might work better might not tho!

 2nd one i dont like, mayb orite if the windows in the background didnt take my eyes away!

They arnt crap,but I would say the first one is too far away,it does look good but leaves alot of space that isnt used.It does create a good focal point but it could have been possible to get a similar photo without all the wasted space.

The seconds ok,again its too far away from the subject and slow shutters are really hard to get right in riding.The colours pretty good, but everythings blurry which unless you have a tripod is hard to stay in focus.Also the guy riding is slightly over exposed.Finally, it would look better without the shadow.

Dont take any of what Ive said personally, but I put some photos up on another forum, and it got criticised simiarlaly.The fact is without criticism noone gets better very easily or quickly, so take it constructively and try to improve.

i totally agree.
i love that first wallride photo partly because of the setting; the shadows on the bits f the wall add to the feel of it.

i do like any decent riding photo but i think including more of the scene can sometimes add a whole new dimension to the photo.

james, that first photo is mint; consider it saved on my pc!

:dthe first pic gives me an urban feeling:d
