Very nice shot, great intensity even with the foam on the face. I feel the exposure is good as you have just enough detail in the shadow / dark areas and nothing is really blown out on the bright areas.

The only thing that distracts me is the white area on the nose of the seat. I thought it was froth from his nose but I think it is part of the seat. But it draws the eye to the crotch of the rider. Handle it how ever you want. I would consider making it black. May have been nice to get the rest of the hands in the shot if possible. Many people complain about cropping limbs and hands. Again just thoughts, this is a great shot, very well done as it stands!

Thanks for the comments. A wider framing would have been better for the rider but that would also have cluttered the background and sides of the frame more. I only took a couple of quick shots because I didn't want to break his concentration.

@mblum4 You're right about the exposure. Actually his arms and face were just in the sun and the rest of his body was in the shade under an awning on the side of the team bus. I tweaked the exposure in Lightroom to fix most of it. -

The intensity and concentration are evident. Athletes can be a challenge, and you have to work fast. Kudos on this one.

Slightly wider frame, just enough to include the hands.

Nice sport photo- Ilove the colors and the expression in the byker ,,,good composition ,DOF and capture-

i think taking a bit of distance from your camera to the byker -you would do not see the image of this man so big as it shows-this way would avoid to feel as overexposed
