I love how you've captured the action here. I can really imagine the power of the bike. There's a bit of a yellow cast over the photo - esp parts of the bike and some hot whites in the guys gear. The shade of brown is really pleasing to look at.

It is a good silhoutte, but I would prefer having some details for portrait shot.

I guess a sihlouette is kind of a portrait. It's got the feeling that it's cold outside. Good luck to ya!

Not sure if I would consider this a portrait since you can't see any of the face. It is a nice silloutte though, and the colors and nice.

While this is a beautifully and artfully moody shot, I do have a couple of problems with it. The brighter of the reds look oversaturated. IMO, the border is unnecessary (though I did not take off for it) - the way the photo is cropped is enough (for me at least) to define itself; the frame is 'extra' and really isn't needed. (Like I said, it's a beautiful shot.) The biggest problem I have with it, though, is that in scoring a macro/close-up photo, I place a heavy emphasis on clarity of texture and detail. IMO, a macro should show detail that may not be obvious to the naked eye or to the casual observer. I like the shot, and in a different challenge (where I would not place so much emphasis on sharp focus), I would have scored this a 7 or 8. For this challenge, because of the oversaturated red and the lack of clarity, I am scoring this a 5.

IMHO the shadows are to dark and the focus is way to soft.
