My Evaluation:

• There is a relatively flat orange to yellow sunset line in the background.
• The photo is focused mainly on the biker which is clear while the mountains are slightly blurry.
• The mountains to the right of the photo are cropped.
• The background of the photo is a clear sunset.
• The viewer is unable to see what is in the front of the photo.
• The subject is a fairly skilled BMX biker.
• We can't see what they are wearing because it is a silhouette.
• They are standing while hitting a jump on a bike.
• They are making a jump on a bike.
• The lighting is very melodramatic and dark. The light seems to be coming from behind the subject.
• The photographer took the picture from an angle behind the subject with them apparently going across the screen.
• The photographer seemed to be trying to imply that people can do amazing things.
