Autumn Mountainbiking C&C

Spent Sunday riding in the Wye Valley on the Welsh/English border, only took my Canon powershot with me as I couldn't be bothered to carry the Dslr

Any C&C on these? I know the motion blurred riders aren't to some peoples tastes but I was trying to show the colours and environment rather than the detail in the riders.

I always enjoy your compositions. Thanks for sharing!

My .O2.

1. I love the forest colors. Would like the cyclists to be closer if they are the primary subject.

2, 3 don't do much for me.

4. This one appeals to me because of the forest floor, I like what you did with it. The bike seems bland to me though. Perhaps color the rim, not the frame?

Nice though.

Your pictures always look nice, but to show them in sport as MTB pictures is really not correct in my view.

The motion shots with the riders would be sweet if you panned with them. Just a thought to try for next time maybe...

Thanks for the comments.
Khall, I wondered myself whether this was the correct place as the MTB's weren't the main focus.
nherndon, As I said above and at the top in my original post the shots were to show the surroundings rather than the bikes, to blur the background would indeed show motion but I'd loose the backgrounds so I chose to show the motion by blurring the bikes.

Thanks
