>>260219 Seriously, though. This shot is made of fail. First off, the technical: 1. ISO1600 on a Digital Rebel. Noisy as shit. And why did he have to go 1600? 2. f/16. Because it's *goddamn important* that that generic street in the background be in crisp focus? 3. Focal Length 15mm. The distortion in the shot tells me that you're shooting with the 15mm fisheye. I assume because you've seen other fisheye shots of skateboarders? Problem is, you're shooting on a crop-sensor'd Digital Rebel, which means that the distortion just gets to the level of "bad" without coming out the other end to "fisheye".
Artistic: You're shooting straight into the sun. Looks like you crammed it right under his armpit. This has caused the majority of your sky to blow out to white. Additionally, you've got alllll sorts of distractions everywhere in the frame: Cars, houses, trees, that little rag or whatever in the lower left, flags, flagpoles, telephone cables, etc. All rendered nice and crisp and sharp and distorted by your f/16 fisheye.
So. Congratulations. You managed to take the interesting scene of a guy doing a trick on a skateboard and make it look like an extremely pedestrian snapshot. And you managed to make a $600 lens mounted on a digital SLR look like a particularly low-quality cell phone.
