Lovin Dereks shot with the depth of field! yeya!
December 7, 2009
Thanks Norbi!!
December 7, 2009
I'm diggin Derek's shot…clean.
December 7, 2009
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.
December 7, 2009
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
December 7, 2009
dereks shot is badass! haha
December 7, 2009
props to walt as well for a sick shot! we need to get out and do some winter riding man!
December 7, 2009
what kinda of nikes is Grant wearing??
December 7, 2009
Yeah Diamond!! Sick shot as always… Got my vote for sure!!
December 7, 2009
both are sick but i gotta go with russell. that shot equals radness.
December 7, 2009
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
December 7, 2009
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
December 7, 2009
sick nasty foto!! Derek … def check more about Russell on wideopenatl.com
December 7, 2009
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 7, 2009
Dirty colors and the good angle of Grant's shot gets my vote…Respect to Derek though!
December 7, 2009
LOVE Walt's shot! The way the helmet is comin' off is ironic or somethin'… and the colors & action are amazing!
December 7, 2009
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 7, 2009
Walt's photo is off the chain!
December 8, 2009
Gabor loves heaters and taking lame low angle shots.
December 8, 2009
Shot of Russell by a long shot… the shot of Grant looks accidental
December 8, 2009
The timing on the shot of Grant is amazing!! Lots happening – the helmet, the feet, etc. Great shot!
December 8, 2009
How the hell can Grants pic be "accidental"? That is an awesome shot!
December 8, 2009
I LIKE EM BOTH!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
December 9, 2009
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 9, 2009
dereks for sure its a lot more sick of a pic but grants is kinda funny with his helment fallin half way off lol

Come on…its obvious with photos better..now its just a popularity contest..rigged
December 12, 2009
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…
