Would of preferred a bit less on the sepia i.e. that brownish colour, but that is just me

I like it a lot. You might consider cloning the clouds out of the top corners and the street light

I would like to see a color version, also it would look a lot better wit less headroom and more foreground so whe have a better context of the picture

Your photo looks AWESOME!
Wondering if you might be able to advise me on taking photos of my BMX team riders. I have a Canon 600D with a Tamron 18-270 lens.
I have been using the TV dial setting with the shutter speed set to 4000 but I have a poor success rate without blur (maybe 15%). Would you have any setting recommendations? Thanks heaps.

Thank You!! I shoot most of my BMX stuff with shutter speeds of 1/250th or slower. Are you panning (moving your camera with the rider) as you are taking the shot? I want the rider in focus but the background and the spokes in the wheels blurred to give a sense of speed. I also shoot with 2 off camera flashes.

Thanks
Eric
