Great motion capture.

Compositionally, I can't decide if I like having the tops of their heads and backs cropped out or not. On the plus side, it fills the frame better, and contributes to the sense of urgency or speed that the shot conveys. On the negative shot, it feels a bit accidental, because not much was cropped out.

Technically, I like that you have chosen to show the bicycles blurry. That helps to capture the motion and speed. I do think the back wall could be a bit more in focus, though. If it had been, this would have been an incredible shot.

Overall, good work in this challenge. You met the challenge well and had a good photograph.

If I need to further clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me.

One of the most original I've seen in this challenge. The colours and blur just work real well to depict movement and sport in action. Good luck!

Nice use of shutter speed, very different. A nice touch of blurring the cyclist. What puts it all in perspective is the writing on the window.

Good idea for a shot. Picking a better background could have made this much better (the current one is distracting and unattractive).

Nice concept which works in some cases but I think there's too much to look at (esp. words) in the background, which hurts the effect here. Also you might want to include a little more on top so you're not skimming off the tops of their backs & heads.
