The backgrounds are distracting, the biker does not really pop (4&5 are an exception)

I would really like number 1, except all the way to the left seems like you put an extra frame in there. Where hes facing the other direction, To me it shouldn't be there.

EDIT: Nvm, it looks like a videographer. Still distracting though, and you're pictures are better than anything I could do.

What do you suggest I do next time? Different angle? Darker background? I can't really lower the shutter too much to rid of some of the ambient because they're always going really fast. I guess different angles would've worked better with some, but the riders request angles sometimes so I do my best to make it look good.

Yeah he was filming, I didn't really mind him in the shot. Also didn't feel like clone stamping him out.

Thanks, and it was just sunlight.

If thats the only location you can shoot at, it going to be very hard, a nice blue sky would have looked fantastic.

I agree but not every spot they want to do something at is that open, as you can see in the pictures.

It is kinda hard to tell about the angle, i cannot tell what is around you if you move. But one way would be to turn the power up on the strobes and darken that background about 2 +/- stops below the rider

I like them, if was being super critical I'd agree with some of the comments about popping!

Out of interest what was your set up?

Darken the trailer and building in no. 4

I like the angles (or lack thereof) because it shows the distance they traveled (in shots 1 and 6 especially)

However, if these were ads, you could always plaster a logo over something you didn't want to see.
