I got half way - Do I cross again?

A great composition for using a fish eye. One of my pet peeves with most usage of the fish eye is that it is usually just being used for the effect. Well, in this shot it, actually, works. The car on the left nicely breaks the symmetry. I really don't like what you did with dodging and burning here - the shot looks unnatural because of that. 6

Great shot, nice to see a different perspective and I like the way you have used fill flash to enhance the subjects and darken the sky, gives a nice moody feel. At shows I often shoot candid stuff (spurs, boots, rear shots etc. just different stuff) and I find it ALWAYS sells! Very nice.

I'de love to shoot David Blaine, maybe he could turn my Sigma 18-50 into a Nikon 17-55 and also my D200 into a D2Xs, make my mother-in-law vanish, a card trick or 2-3-4-5-6, turn my coffee into cash. Shame to hear that he was a royal pain in the butt.

you did great work here would love to see some others too.

That's nutty. 50 marathons in DV ? I thought Badwater was a crazy race, but that's worse. I like your shot btw - particularly the subject placement wrt the frame and how you've shown him dominated by the environment.

I quite like it cropped in a more panoramic way too, right down so there is no sky showing and all just the purple mountains.

I think you've captured a great photo. I like the composition, allthough I find the bw convertion a little bit flat. Might have prefered a more well balanced contrast.

You're lucky you got to shoot Blaine. Would have loved shooting a portrait of him.
