A different look

[jordand]

Same place, same shooting technique, different post processing.
The moment I saw this one on my monitor I couldn’t think of it but in black and white, don’t know why.
Using Silver Efex I made two B&W layers, two High Key layers actually, playing mostly with the contrast slider on one of them in order to make the biker look darker.
After that, once again masking and brushing slowly.
I watched many tutorials about making selections but none of them worked properly with these downhill photos.
Maybe someone could suggest a better way for accurately selecting things…

You're right, that works really well. Punchy contrast and a real sense of motion.
