It's Week Two of Money Shots '07, and things are ramping up. The quality of the 224 shots submitted this week is impressive, and they covered all of the photographic bases: black & white, colour, action, beauty, artistic, adventurous, mind-boggling, you name it. Hopefully, they made you want to get out and ride.
This week's judging tasks were up to Harookz. As always, there were no instructions - just to pick the photos he liked. Here are the shots that floated his boat. Thanks as always for sharing your expertise.
And a big congrats to the winner - he picks up a Helly Jaeger jersey and Black Stripe jersey, as modelled by Matt Hunter. Give me a shout with your sizing info, and we'll get you the goods. Every winner in March will receive a prize from Helly Hansen - and then the grand prize winner gets a prize from the next level - as well as a ticket to the finals.

The Jaeger jersey... |
and the Black Stripe jersey. |
| 1st Place: Beautiful angle paying close attention to the placement of the rider (I've shot this line before and there's only a couple angles that work and this is one of them), the ocean/mountain backdrop is priceless, good decision going with the b&w route, nice contrast, the timing is bang on... I only have good things to say about this photo! Congrats! |

| 2nd Place: "Epic/Soulful/Moody/Spiritual. .." this photo is a good example of every term found in the art school dictionary. The b&w application worked well, the fog and single bike gives me a cold solitary feel, the composition provides depth for my eyes to follow... It's a simple photograph that doesn't show any riding action but you nailed it, nice work!! |

| 3rd Place: I love the elements you incorporated into this shot, getting up high to capture the valley below with the lake. What a beautiful area! I just wish the rider wasn't smack dab in the middle of the frame. |

| Honorable Mention: Solid composition! I've shot this wall before and I know how sketchy it is to be shooting from where you are! Lots of good stuff going on here: the timing, the decision to roll with the b&w, the contrast is perfect. I would have liked to see you crank up that shutter speed to at least the 1/640th mark on this one for a crispy blur free photo. |

Honorable Mention: I like what you were going for here, looks great! How about re-shooting this nug on a day without sun-spots? |
