This was one of my few 9s (although I only got to 200 shots). Loved the feel and textures.

Really good shot, nice job. Bear said it about the composition with the bike cropped off the bottom - the tight crop on the right is good, it creates visual tension that goes perfectly with the expression of the rider, and the overall shot. But, the bottom of tires and the ground they're on are almost as important as the riders face in most MTB shots, IMO.

Super depiction of intensity, could be a motivational poster. Exquisitely good toning.

B/W perfect choice. I feel the dirt. I like the choice of crop wuth him pulling out from where he was. Good luck on this well composed study.

This my pick for the blue ribbon. Great action shot. The DOF and focus are spot on. The tonal range is excellent. The expression on the athletes face provides insight into the action. Great job.

Good Luck.

This shot conveys the bike ride well.
