Nice color tones, great bokeh, and clarity. Love the DOF, but can't help wanting to see this same composition stopped down one stop to see what a LITTLE more definition of the action in the background would look like. If it would be at the expense of the bokeh then I would say that you made the right call...no pun intended! 8

This is really great, and creative. Excellent clarity and I'm also a sucker for the Black and Gold color combo. Well done! 9

Morning ride

Looks like a Steve shot. Great texture on the road, the tilted horizon line works well for a shot of this nature because it creates a sense of forward moment on the bikes as well as creating a dynamic leading line into the frame drawing your attention right up to the bikers.

Nice overall clarity and tones. I like the tread marks and gravelly feel of the road/bike path, however if I was to find one nit pick I personally would have spot edited at least some of the larger black debris since it's one of the first things that grabbed my attention.

Great job. 8
