Great timing! I wish the shadow on the second bike wasn't right on/under the flags, otehr than that this picture is sweet.

Very nice shot. Depth is good. Compsition is good. My son used to race these.
04/21/2002 05:56:00 PM
excellent!
04/21/2002 05:08:00 PM
Nice action!
04/20/2002 08:47:00 AM
Right idea of a good old stanby subject. Quite a lot of blurr.
04/20/2002 06:21:00 AM
That's a great picture.
04/19/2002 09:59:00 PM
Great depth of view with noting too distracting in the background.
04/19/2002 08:17:00 PM
Nice timing and photo ... still some slight blurring .. it looks like you could use a smaller f-stop and increase your shutter speed, if it can go faster.
04/19/2002 08:26:00 AM
Good shot. Another idea would be to zoom as much as possible, if possible, on one of the bikes so the eye doesn't go back and forth.
04/19/2002 07:30:00 AM
nice feeling of competition and speed. great work.
04/18/2002 06:58:00 AM
great photo, not only 1 but 2!! Great 'stopped motion'! Wish bike #4 was as clear as #20 - one of my faves.
04/17/2002 11:26:00 PM
Awesome shot -- great subjects and colors.
04/17/2002 09:54:00 PM
Sharp with good colors. Congrats!
04/17/2002 04:41:00 PM
Nice composition, and good timing
04/17/2002 10:47:00 AM
excellent sports shot! nice composition with the 2 riders side by side
04/16/2002 06:28:00 PM
This is one of my favorites. I'm not a bmx fan, but you did a really good job of catching the action here. Who won?
04/16/2002 04:32:00 PM
Good focus. Can even see the individual spokes in the wheels! Nice photo.
04/16/2002 02:52:00 PM
very cool shot!
04/16/2002 07:35:00 AM
lovely colours in this. I think I would have liked to see just one of the riders, or more DOF (but that's asking a lot from a tough shot in the first place). Still one of my faves
04/16/2002 12:15:00 AM
The wheels are hardly even blurry. Good work
04/15/2002 08:14:00 PM
Great shot, though the guys are a little blurry. A faster shutter speed would've fixed this.
04/15/2002 06:22:00 PM
Nice. good job getting close and keeping both in frame.
04/15/2002 06:14:00 PM
Nice shot. You nailed the exposure. I think it would have been even better shot from an angle to show a more appealling background. Maybe shooting up from below? Different part of the track? I know that race photographers intentionally use a fast enough shutter speed to stop the body, but fast enough to hint at the wheels turning, but for this particular challenge you may have wanted a higher shutter speed to stop the wheels also? Having said all of this, I still rated this photo very high. I appreciate how difficult this type of shot can be. My comments are meant t be constructive criticism. Please take them in that light, as I like the photo. Nice job.
04/15/2002 04:24:00 PM
wheels still spinning - good shot well composed but loses points for ot being stopped dead
04/15/2002 03:59:00 PM
This photo looks good enough to put in a sports magazine. Good job!
04/15/2002 02:10:00 PM
Bet they would like to have this on their wall!
04/15/2002 12:27:00 PM
This is nice! A slightly faster shutter speed would have frozen the tires and spokes a little better :)
04/15/2002 12:12:00 PM
Awesome pic.
04/15/2002 11:45:00 AM
Good compostion, just a little blurry.
04/15/2002 10:41:00 AM
Like that you have the shadows on the ground. Might have been stronger from a lower angle, to get them against the sky.
04/15/2002 09:18:00 AM
I'm seeing motion trails
04/15/2002 09:17:00 AM
Right on, that's the stuff! Great action, good composition, focus ect. Excellent job of fullfilling the criteria.
04/15/2002 06:51:00 AM
ack! I can't wait till I take out my bike!
