Comment by Crystal Streams:
the background distracts from the main object

Nice shot but the boarder gets a little lost in the background, he may of stood out more if it was a color shot.

Comment by itsaghostcar:
nice. being in b+w seems to concentrate the pic firmly on the skater ... away from (probably) distracting signs in the background. One question ... did he land it? :)

I like the shadow under the jumper. It adds to the photo. I might have cropped it. Less sky and less track. Like the B&W.

I think I would have cropped it more.

I know this place. I have some very similar shots myself. Maybe you could have gotten lower to try to get a skater against the bright sky instead of the similarily shaded background as the boy's shirt.

I don't know the original colors in the scene, but I'm guessing that using grayscale helps emphasize the foreground over an otherwise brighter background.

I like black and whites and I plan to try to incorporate that into challenges in the future myself. I like the action in this shot. I would like it better if the skater was not centered in the frame.... Subject orientation to the upper left a bit in this photo would increase the drama a bit. Also, maybe if you were just a little closer to the action...
Nice shot!

It's a cool shot, I like the shadow, but the black and white I'm not sure was a good idea. Against that background the black clothing just makes him fade to where you can barely see him. (Or her, to be fair!)
