    Well timed capture… especially as the kick-flip technique you caught him doing is a very quick trick.

    The original is also good… It gives the skater more room as I feel he’s a bit boxed-in in the cropped version. The two bollards add to it too… it’s nice because he’s in the middle of the two. If you wanted to give the skater more space, you could have a bigger crop and clone out the bollards easy enough…
