    Brings back fond skate memories...

    I agree that bringing the skateboarder much closer to the tunnel would have made the shot more powerful, but i still like this shot. To improve I think I'd try to dodge the graffiti in the foreground of the tunnel and make it even busier to contrast against the lone skateboarder on the busy background. Just my
