Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I found these after processing all the pics... enjoy

This is the first time ive shot the bikes when its been sunny, it really kind of limits the places you can shoot. But anyways, C&C is always Welcome

I love the first one because I can see the rider's eyes and the concentration on his face.

Nice mate. Godd contrast and saturation, which always makes for good motorsport images. Number three seems a bit soft around the helmet, but the others are crackers.

I know what you mean about shooting in full sun, it creates harsh shadows and blown highlights, you have to know your track and know where to shoot from at whatever time of day.

Nice!

The first shot is of fully professional quality. Excellent! The last shot is also very appealing. A nice pick up. :D

Having tried photographing a few motorsport events (go-karts and dirt bikes) in the last few months I now realize how hard it is to get brilliantly clear, sharp photos and still convey the sense of movement. You have achieved this in your shots, they are outstanding and I am completely GREEN with envy. I know that I have a lot to learn and by seeing shots like yours it gives me hope that one day I will take close to as good a shot as you. Well done

Some more great examples of your work Matt. Nice to see some pit / flag girl shots in the mix too :)

The first is the stand out here!
