That is a nice shot to use just crop out the top of that building so there are no distractions. I think that would be a great shot to use like I said. good work

It's a good shot but it is a pity that the sun is on the wrong side, it would have been a great shot if the lighting was coming from the viewers side. A bit of lightening in PS can probably fix that.

I would clone out the top of the building and the crop so the bike is to the right hand side of the card, clone in additional sky on the left hand side if required and then out your details in that area.

Maybe I am wrong but he was not going to put the picture on the cards... he was asking about the title I shoot motox riders ........

Personally, I would not use it. When I started out, my business name was Bad Pig Photo (because I am a cop) - I had a lot of people who said it just did not sound professional and who is going to recommend a name like that. So I changed to Captured by Mike and everyone loves it. The whole 'I shoot ___" has been used over and over and just looks to be in bad taste but that is just my opinion.

In the end, use what makes you happy for anything. It is just part of your slogan so maybe you could have seperate business cards just for Motocross that has that on them?

Sorry missunderstanding. Ummmm I dont know if Id write "I shoot motox riders" on the card. Something more like Action sports, and motocross photography would sell it more for me! Just my 0.02 cents
