This is really nice. I love the muted palette of it. The border overpowers it a bit IMO, but not too seriously. Congrats on top-20.

Compositionally, I like the shot. I like how he is entering the frame on one side, and he just partially shows, then is exiting the frame on the other, and still just partially shows. Your space between the bikes is good.

Technically, I like the color of the rider against the "bland" sky. Yea, a better sky would have made it more dramatic, but some things we can't control. Converting it to bw would help the sky, but then the rider would be lost in the details of the trees. I don't like the "texture" that the tonemapping gave the grass. I know that is a personal thing, and others really like it, but to me it looks almost grainy -- like it is out of focus or was underexposed and had to be brought up so much it made it edgy. Just my opinion though. I think the vignetting may be a bit much. Perhaps if it were more subtle.

Overall, a very effective shot.

This is great in many ways -- focus, lighting, coloring. Very nicely done.

Nice details and lighting in this. Very 3-dimensional. Nice natural tones, too. You found a lot of beauty in this scene.

Is that just cliff face on the far side? Almost looks like the foundations of an old building. I like the fall tonal colors in this, has a warm feeling.
