[rosco1971]

took this photo earlier today.....i would like some comments on it please....i have posted 2.....one with the brightness turned up a bit and the other with the brightness untouched..........which one looks better.

I prefer the first one, but there really isn't much in it.

Good photo by the way. I suck at panning shots. :)

[MTalley]

The first one jumps out at me, also.

I also agree with the choice of the first image but I'm not sure about the crop you have used for the image - perhaps a fixed ratio of 3 - 2 might help.

my vote for first one too :)

First one.
It retains more detail, particularly in the riders clothing.

[Viking Joe]

First one. The subject seems to stand out more than in the second one.

Number One, The jacket is darker brown and the jeans are a darker blue which makes it stand out more ...

[pdrow]

I vote for number one, too. Keep it up. They are getting so much better :)

There is not that much difference between the 2, but if I have to choose, I would choose #1 as the contrast is a bit better.

Put me down for number 1, too. The background looks more stark, and not as washed out. It looks "faster".

My vote is number one..
