....trying to get artsy here....rotated 5 degrees to get the downhill look, then cropped it so I had more or less equal triangles of grass top/bottom.

Thoughts....c&c ?

Thanks

George

I like it. I think it is a tad overexposed, just a tad. Maybe bring the highlights down just a little, and add some contrast or saturation to give it some pop and I think you'll have a great shot. Focus on the biker/bike is nice and sharp. Well done!

Thanks ! How's this version ? I brought the exposure down just a little, boosted saturation and added some more USM. Thanks again for the comments.

Lots better. I would try to bring down the highlights just a bit more myself, but definitely an improvement!

Great shots guys. You make me and the old girl look faster than then we really are!
George, you really did some nice work with all the pics I looked at. As always, thanks for shooting!

Nice sence of speed from both photos guys.

Yeah, it was a CCS race weekend.

So you don't miss one again...
The next trackday is June 15th and the next race weekend is July 10-12 with a trackday following on the 13th.

Hope you make it out.

Great work George, especially with the lowered exposure and added saturation. Cheers, Tony
