Response to Street photos of skaters, how could I have done this better?

from Tony Rowlett (rowlett@alaska.net)
I like the converging verticles resulting from pointing your wide lens slightly upwards. This is a great idea but widely attempted; it's just not as fresh anymore. I think you should really try to shoot jump-skating (if that's what you call it) from a totally new viewpoint. Get an angle that nobody has ever shot from before. I'm not sure I like such a strong tone to these without more contrast or a brighter appearance overall. In the second shot I'd like to see the skater more disconnected with his watchful buddies. One idea (and I probably would be too awkward to actually try this) would be to get up there next to his buddies and get them in the picture much closer to the lens. Maybe with their faces VERY big in the lens looking on as the skater is in flight.
