I’m diggin Derek’s shot…clean.

There is no contest, Diamonds shot of Russell hands down. I am also puzzled why they are referring to you as Derek Davis instead of the name God gave you – Diamond.

Thats a super dope shot of G Roberts, but as far as photography as an art and pushing wakeskating to where it needs to be, … The scene that is set up by Derek’s shot is timeless
Well done man

dereks shot is badass! haha
December 7th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
props to walt as well for a sick shot! we need to get out and do some winter riding man!
December 7th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
what kinda of nikes is Grant wearing??
December 7th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Yeah Diamond!! Sick shot as always… Got my vote for sure!!
December 7th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
both are sick but i gotta go with russell. that shot equals radness.
December 7th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
Both shots are great. but as far as composition, originality and mood i gotta go with Derek’s shot. However I prolly would have taken it from a lower angle. But thats just me. Good job

man. gabor wins 1 photo battle and hes giving tips to everyone. Russell’s shot is perfect. if everyone shot from the water into the sun like gabor we wouldn’t be able to see everyone pretty faces. Derek shot is going to win by a landslide

sick nasty foto!! Derek … def check more about Russell on wideopenatl.com
December 7th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Love the detail you can see in the water of Walt’s shot, plus so many things go captured in a single shot, its awesome.
December 7th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Dirty colors and the good angle of Grant’s shot gets my vote…Respect to Derek though!
December 7th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
LOVE Walt’s shot! The way the helmet is comin’ off is ironic or somethin’… and the colors & action are amazing!
December 7th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Photographer says? at least i put my name there.
And not giving tips, just saying my opinion.this is what commenting is all about. isn’t it? love the shot as I said before.
and i love the heaters too:)
December 7th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Walt’s photo is off the chain!
December 8th, 2009 at 6:31 am
Gabor loves heaters and taking lame low angle shots.
December 8th, 2009 at 7:52 am
Shot of Russell by a long shot… the shot of Grant looks accidental
December 8th, 2009 at 9:25 am
The timing on the shot of Grant is amazing!! Lots happening – the helmet, the feet, etc. Great shot!
December 8th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
How the hell can Grants pic be “accidental”? That is an awesome shot!
December 8th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
I LIKE EM BOTH!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
December 9th, 2009 at 8:08 am
derek’s shot looks like he’s hidin in the bushes catchin a prototype in the works or something..
b&w vs. color ????? like apples to oranges no?
December 9th, 2009 at 9:53 pm

Come on…its obvious with photos better..now its just a popularity contest..rigged

Seriously the black and white shot wins hands down, perspective, skate bumps, far more artistic and representing skating as it is right now. The other shot is ok but there are a million shots of shuvs off of rails and his helmet coming off looks kinda dumb. Why crop it in so tight too?
Nice one Derek hope you win man…
