this is a good technical shot meeting the challenge.. his expression lives up to the title.. for me, less of the man and a bit more of the bike would have added to this, as the wheels would have given a stronger sense of speed.

Nice rich saturation of color. I like this. Looks like a magazine cover of Cycling. 8

Excellent work, great use of motion panning. The subject is prefect and the colors really make this shot stand out.

I first gave you a 7 because I only had a 6, but I just can't sleep now. This is perfect. The motion panning is just a small part of this picture. The colors, the strength of a man, the determination. Perfect. Or are you that guy riding in a car. Ha Ha.

This a great shot- clear enough to see the pained expression, blurred enough to meet the effect. I love it.

Nice capture, the subject is very crisp. The colors seem to be a little over cooked. 9

Are those shifters on the down tube?
Old school - very nice.
Nice panning job too.

Very nice shot. Looks like it could have been taken from moving vehicle, but I'm definitely going to give you the benefit of the doubt and score well.

Good panning technique. The colors look overprocessed.

Wonderful motion. Good title, really fits with the emotion from him. Good clarity in the upper part of the body.

Colors seem a little over saturated?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very cool. Looks a bit over-saturated on my screen though, and a bit more of the bike(wheels) in the frame would've added to the picture imo.

this is really nice i love the clarity and the colours on him!

Good technique to get the face and hands in sharp focus while the legs continue to pound away. Also the strong lines and distinct colours in the background work well against the rider's clothing and his more rounded posture.

This is in my top 3. Excellent way to meet the challenge. Perfect focus and execution. Love the title and emotion also. 8

Nice use of space. Try to darken the image a little next time.
