Hello Ty,

I do not know what you had in mind when you took this so if my comments fly off in another direction, sorry.

First, I think a more rectangular frame would help (crop some foreground) - it might convey a sense of motion whereas the nearly square frame seems static.

Along that line, the image does not, although obviously there was, show any motion (blurred spokes, foot/pedal, etc.). I guess there is a hint of motion in the second rider's leg....maybe they were coasting at the time?

Focus is good and gives depth to the image. On this monitor, which is not a good basis to judge, the sky has a green cast and, assuming the second rider's helmet should be white, it too, as do his socks, has a green cast.

Perhaps a polarizer would help the sky?

regards,

Bob

Ty- I agree with Bob in that a "sense of motion" would help this shot out. I played around with it in photoshop and this is what I came up with (if you don't like it I'll delete it.) I meant to cut off the rear wheel of the rear rider to try and give it that "sense of motion."

Happy Shooting,
Ken

Nice to see another mountain biker on here!

I have to agree there isn't much sense of motion and the colors look a little off or bland?
Ken's version seems to pop quite a bit more, at first I didn't like his version but upon looking again I really do.
