The background distracts.

Comment by shoyles:
Nice action shot but a little to much contrast for my taste and the background is a little busy. Maybe a tighter crop? Blur the background?

Comment by moodville:
Good dark tones and a good urban gritty feeling to the shot. A little chaotic, but that represents well the subculture of skateboarding. The body language of the main skater is good, although wish I could see his facial expression a little clearer/closer (I think his tongue is poking out!). A good street shot.

background is to confusing

Nice action capture. A bit cluttered image, less DOF or a different angle of view would help to isolate the skateboarder more, in my opinion.

A very well done image. Composition, focus, DOF and timing just perfect. I would love to see this image printed. Great tonal range and I can stare at thisimage the whole day. WELL DONE.

well captured, would have kept it colour to help distinguish between subject and background

The more I come back to this picture - the sharp focus, great dof, and stark reality - it really is a great picture. But it totally missed the boat for a desaturated picture. You needed to set it up so what got desaturate was obvious to the viewer. Had you done this on a mirror - with either the pepper or it's reflection desaturated it would have been an awesome picture. You have tallent - you just need to think a little more like a viewer - or have someone else give them a peek.
