What do you like?
Very rich image, good colours and action going on here.
26 June 2012What would you improve?
I would have liked the picture if you´d moved the camera with the subject at a speed with 1/20 sec to get an even better effect,
but it still has lots of action in it with 1/100 of a sec.-

Varoom Vincent, Happy to see you trackside for the start of the race. Many thanks indeed for your great feedback. (As for the shutter speed, you do it your way and I'll do it mine, ok?) 8-) GB D!

What do you like?
Lots of motion but you still got your subject sharp.
25 June 2012What would you improve?
Nice as it is! Perhaps try a colour mask so just your subject is in colour, might look nice :-)

Super duper Simon, Max thanx for your great feedback. GB D!
(As for using Selective Colour, if the main subject had been "lost" in the frenzied background I MAY have used it to make him more visible but as he is already so easy to pick out from the crowd, the photograph stays as is). 8-)

What do you like?
I love all the bright colours and the sense of speed you've captured in the picture. I also really like how you've chosen your subject as the guy right in the thick of it instead of one of the leaders - I like how there is motion all around your focus point, not just ahead or behind.
25 June 2012What would you improve?
I'd keep shooting pictures like these, they can only get better. I think this is just great though!!

24 JulyStrewth Steve!
Good to see you at the Motocross meet mate.
Max thanx for your "love" and the great feedback.
(In answer to your question: "No!" Different monitors and different calibration could be why you perceive this as overly constrasted) 8-)
