Yes, I also think you got exactly what you were looking for in this really
exciting image. It's an excellent interpretation of your photograph.

I suppose I wouldn't be me if I didn't find something to nitpic about. In this case, the frame surrounding this excellent image appears to be competing with it! Perhaps this 'closing in' effect is what you want. But I do tend to look at the frame again and again, pulling towards it instead of looking at the image.

I admire the ingenuity that you put into this and think you are
on the right track. (but)

If it was mine, I'd probably try to integrate
the cute b/g objects into the composition more. And make the twirly things
in the flower more a part of the overall picture. right now (forgive me) I
think you have a lot of very pretty parts of the puzzle that don't quite
come together yet. Please keep playing with this very clever idea...
(Or not... as I say, it's just my opinion)

Oh, that's a lovely lens you have there, Roz.
And a good crop of subjects, and, oh yes, a good eye and excellent post processing
skills.

Okay, you have a terrific action shot going here and room to play with the crop.
My suggestion (for what it's worth) is to give this athlete a little room to drive his vehicle (!). In other words, give him a bit more room to drive into and he won't look so penned in...

It's really great lighting and action. I like it a lot.
