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.

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.

That reminds me, I've got a race in an hour. I think I'll leave work soon.

The first two are good....especially as it looks like it was a bright gary day....I like the way the riders appear to be riding directly towards you in the second shot..:)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

I like the third of these. It shows such a sense of overcrowding and competition.

And I think that the slightly tilited aspect to it only helps this image too.

Hi there John,

Really nice colours in the last two, each time I look at them I am waiting for one to clip the other. Hell of a sport for gravel rash.

All good stuff, what we cant show in our shots of this is the rush of wind these riders create as they blow past you - yesterday very welcome in the heat..

Thanks All, yes like Tony siad the wind these riders generated was unreal and yes what a site it would be if one of the front runners came adrift, or anyone in the front of the pack. nerves of steel i think how these rider can ride bunched up without running up each others bums.

Also so with the last shot i had to hole the camera over the fence to bypass all the heads sticking over infront of me and the angle adds to the last shot. Like i siad i took many shots so just a few.

Cheers
