685 shots in one hour, and this is the only one worth entering. I had never really tried panning before, and I thought it would be easier than it was. Thanks for the votes and comments, everyone!

So this is 2 blocks from your house, huh? Nice neighborhood you live in :-) I used to hang out up there a LOT, 'cuz first my son was into the velodrome thing, and then he got interested in playing golf with me and we played at balboa a couple times a week, and his HS team played there as well. But we lived on Point Loma, down in Portuguese town near the docks.

I'd say you did pretty darn well with your first attempt at panning. And cyclists in velodromes move rather quickly! Congrats on the top ten, too.

Excellent composition, spinning wheels adds motion and complements the sharpness of the face and upper body

The choice of subjects gives the image a balanced feeling.

Perhaps not the most original bike image, but it's very well done.

Very nice, I like how you used the space in your frame and cropped it aysemmetrically. And I like how only the colors on the subject pop so there are no distractions.

would have liked to see more background to heighten the effect.

Great lines and patterns. It's remarkable how everything has motion except for the foreground rider's head. Honestly, I didn't apreciate how great this shot is on my first run through because I didn't look close enough at that face (perhaps because it is darker than surroundings). WOW! Great shot!

The panning effect is lessened by the featureless background
