    Micah,

    Some sick shots you got here. I really dig the gritty feel of the black and white ones. Especially the shot of the skaters together. Strong series, make sure to keep these comin down the pipe at us.

    FYI, someone will trip on the F'bomb ya dropped. Doesn't bother me, but I think they try to keep things pretty G rated here. I'll start the counter before someone freaks...:uhoh

    Some pretty cool shots you've got going. The B&W's have a nice feel to them.
    Kinda moody.

    Cool series-I thought photographically the blue pool bottom and your rig were the best shots but I do dig your overall stlye-it works well with the subject matter....................Mereimage
