Some friends who I've done promotional work for invited me to come along and hang out during a private practice. It was pretty dusty, but I tried to use that to my advantage for an interesting background with the setting sun. These are all pretty much bikes in the air, that's all I really took as I have so many shots of corners, berms, woods riding, etc. C&C welcome.

Great stuff. How much processing did you do on these? Colors are sharp.

Maybe just a bit tighter...#6 I like...I like seeing the eyes and the composition in this one...took the liberty to re-crop...

I like the loose crop on most of these.

Were these flashed?

Thanks! Because of the dust, I pushed the shadows and contrast. For style, I pulled the green channel.

Thanks Jefferson, I appreciate it. Personally, I liked the looseness as it showed the dust and backlighting. I do like the way you cropped it off center though.

Awesome! Curiosity on EXIF data(for a couple of these) has got the best of me as well. Almost like one exposure of the background and one of the rider.
Fantastic stuff!!!!!!

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the feedback.

Thank you Mike!

Really dig 6 and 7, but would be even better if they were not so centered.

some of the better motocross images I have seen. Nice work.

Glad I clicked on the thread. While I maybe don't catch every MX thread, this one's definitely got some winners in it. Particularly liking 1, 2, 4 and 6. Good stuff.
