Very dynamic shot, but while the title says it's something old, I don't see it in the photo.

Hi from the Critique Club.

As you are 100% solid with the technical aspects of photography, I will just offer my thoughts and reaction to your photo, particularly in light of the challenge. Just my opinion of course.

My first reaction is: wow, your jumper has some good air under his feet! And, the sky is outstanding. I'm guessing you centered the motorcycle on purpose and this makes me think he is going to jump on and ride off into the sunset. I think if he would have been holding the helmet or possibly tossing it in the air it might have give some more impact. The cool thing about this photo is that it captured a real moment. Maybe he didnt jump this high on the outside, but i'm sure the excitement was genuine and you did a good job of portraying this feeling.

The colors are fantastic, the purple is surreal. my only critisism of the color is the jumpers choice of shirt color. would a solid color shirt,(red??) have separated him from the BG?

Bottom line, it was nice picture with a good finish in the challenge. You have lots of great pics and i'm sure more to come.

PM me with any questions or comments.

The cowboy is young, the horse is young, the calf is young... I definitely would not make the connection to anything about this photo being "old" without the title to tell me so, which makes its inclusion in this challenge a bit of a stretch. My score would be several points higher if it nailed the challenge.

When I flip this around 180 degrees I like the view a lot more.
