Nice shots, agree, 'Ouch' at the last one!!

You might want to try a blip of fill in flash to help bring out the colours and the subject from the background and also reduce the shadows.

yeah the rockgarden shots especially need it.. only problem is the onboard flash is inadequate and i'm yet to raise the funds for a 430/580... :cry:

Good job. I'd love to see the aftermath shots of the last one.

Good to see gravey stains back on his bike. He was pretty miserable at worlds with his cast on.

Try a little bit less DOF to help the rider pop, also push up contrast and saturation a bit in processing or as mentioned flash will help, but serverly limit your sync speed. Good stuff, keep em coming.

photos look good, just watch whats in frame in the first few. I've noticed I do that too, i'll think somthing is great in frame, but then when I look at it, the subject is right at the top or bottom, or a tire is cut off

Nice captures.
I really like the first 3, just a bit tighter crop.


PS: You may get rapped over the knuckles by a mod as these pics are a bit bigger than 800x600 :D
