I really think this is excellent, combining the colorful grafitti with a silhouette against the sky. Riminds me of the ET movie riding a bicycle silhouetted against the sky, But combined with the color, makes it even better. Our Lakewood skatepark has no grafitti at all.

I'd like to see the camera angle just a little more to the right and lower. To get body from waist up against the sky, and just a slight touch of spotlight on his skateboard-only by an assistent. A Lower angle would make him higher in the air, too. Yes flash, but only to emphasize the skateboard.

I like the composition. Wish there was a bit more light (personal preference). I have a few skateboard parks near my house. I will try to emulate what you have done here.

I like the light and colors of the sky in the background almost as much as the graftti and then.... well ... Nice catch!

Great energy on those lines. The exposure is just right.

Very nice, graffiti's natural environment. I like the silhouette but a flash-filled subject might have scored better.
