| I tried like heck the other day to get our group of kids in the air on their dirtbikes. The digital was SO SLOW I missed my son every single time and only got marginal air shots. It's tough. |

| i think that i would score higher if I could see the rider. if it was just a bike composition it would be fine...but because it looks like a race situation my "minds eye" can't get over the fact that something is missing - the rider. just my two cents. that said - i like the fact that you filled the frame with the bike, and the lighting is good. |

| It really bother me that you cut off the guys head. I think also that the bike isn't quite in focus, or maybe it is and there is a lot of dust... I think your cropping her, in camera or out of just wasn't effective. Sorry... |

| This is quite a daring shot. We don't often see a shot of a motorcycle racer with only a leg of the cyclist showing and with the cycle boxed into a very tight space. The box is a little too tight for my taste, but I find the image quite effective in its own way. |

| This composition draws the viewer into the bike itself rather than the sport. The image itself is too blurred which may be down to low light/slow shutter speed. The cropping is off-putting because the detail of the bike is not clear. |

| Off with his head! Have your heard this more than you care too? taken a shot like this requires a steady hand, a fast lens and lots of light. that you did this well is great! if you had been able to take this shot more from the front( I see that is where the light is coming from) you might have managed a better freeze on the action. nice try:) hope I helped. 5 |

I don't like that you've cut off the riders upper body & head. For me the rider is more important in a sports shot than the machine (s)he is riding.
Technically it's not bad, but lacks a little sharpness. |

| I don't really dig how this photo was cropped. It could also stand to be a tad brighter. When I think of racing of any kind I think of bright vivid colors and this photo just doesn't have that. |

| good action capture, but the focus is a bit soft, and the photo is a little dark. |

| Not sure why you would have cropped out the rider on this one. Seems like it could have been a pretty strong shot had the rider not been amputated. |

| Almost feels too tightly cropped with the cut-off rider |

Missing the riders head is a bad point, also out of focus a bit too much. Try holding the focus on a likewise object (annother bike) then waiting until anotehr comes.
When shooting at this speed, the AF can't get it in time.

| Would have liked to see more of the rider. |

| I can see that you were trying to isolate the bike, but I don't care for this crop. |
