    Hey Ben,

    Long time no see. wave.gif

    I'm not feeling it in this one. I like the motion and the way the stripes parallel the shadows, but it's kind of all scrunched up at the top of the frame and there's not a lot happening below. ne_nau.gif

    You defiantly captured the energy it looks like both feet are off the ground,and if he was moving any faster you would have missed him . Looks like he was trying to avoid detection. The light in the left corner brings the eye into the action.

    I find this photograph quite enjoyable. The composition is unique and fresh. The timing great. The perspective is also quite unique. My only slight bit of feedback would be to try it with/without the subject's cheek. There isn't enough there in this version to make it a graphic element, and cutting it out might de-humanize the figure enough that it will make the subject's other graphic qualities stand out. Either way, it isn't really a major distraction and it could certainly be left as-is. This is one that I like your post-processing style on. I think it really works well. I agree with lensmole, the light triangles in the frame really add an additional sense of movement to the frame.
    Please feel free to post any reworks you do of my images. Crop, skew, munge, edit, share.

    Those are some comprehensive comments.
    I felt this image when I saw it and am excited to see support for those feelings!

    Ryan, I will look again with your suggestion in mind.
