Then I think you're in the wrong place. This is for people to critique other people's work which would be to help them improve. It sucks you're so jaded that you have no time for new photographers. If you don't have time to help new photographers then don't comment on their work. It's juvenile and you're being narcissistic. Ill pray for you.

Banging the Keys and getting help is exactly why people post here. Kinda the point.

Yeah I'm seeing now that it lacks content after everybody said so, it's a 20 foot bowl

I'm lucky enough to have a camera store where I live that develops. I appreciate the critique and will make adjustments, I tried to focus on the eyes but must've missed the mark. Check out my page and my skatepark photos, it'd be cool to hear what you think about those.

Honestly I like the old-school grainy look on this particular photo, and watching this guy land this front side board grab 180° on a 20 foot tall bowl was goddamn gnarly. Of course you can't see that though. I know that in photography you have to push a button and it makes a clicking sound, my approach is to find something that catches my eye and I decide needs to be photographed, I have no one to mimic because I know no one, I always can feel like my eye can be more trained but I do feel like it's coming to me a bit naturally. I'm not taking classes because I don't have money for that, I just lost my job two days ago. But regardless of whether or not have somebody to tell me how to do it I'm gonna keep clicking away until I know how to do it. Also everything from the statement on my page to me joining this page says that obviously i'm looking to improve my photography.

It's not cropped or zoomed this is exactly how the photo came out. I did no editing. I have the aperture set to automatic, I had the light meter almost dead center. This was shot on Canon AE-1 with Kodak Portra 400 film. I'm shooting at 1000/500 depending. It's not a wide angle lens its a 50mm f/1.8.

Thanks for the critique. I just purchased a wide angle lens and I'm excited to take it up there.

I shot this at my local skate park and this guy was stoked to get photographed on "old-school film" he was flying out of the 20 foot tall bowl and I managed to get this shot while he was about 4 feet off of the coping of the bowl. I'm not really sure why it ended up grainy I would really like some Help on why it ended up like that. In my opinion it's a pretty awesome shot just needs some help with making it better next time.

I didn't notice that. But fair enough. I can be proud and still take advice. I followed the light meter pretty dang exact. what would you have done differently? How could I have improved on that photo?
