This one was the >>best.<< Sorry mate you are on the wrong side of the shadow. :-( Actually you're on the wrong side of the skate boarder and given your caption about shadows. If you were on the other side with the shadow strong in the foreground and jumper behind, the shadow would be right in your face, then you'd have some very interesting shadow shots. Actually this is the kind of event you could re-shoot on another day about the same time and have another go with some good skate boarders doing their thing. :-) When I look at the photo I'd have stood on the grass to the left just off the pavement and the shadow would've been almost to my feet to make a vertical shot. Just a thought. ted
