Gerald -

Excellent capture of the action here! I really like the details in the various parts of the image - good crop!
I haven't had a chance to ask you, I'm presuming you were at 200mm here, correct? (What part of the track were you near - finish, start, midway?)
(Probably easiest to post the reply in the comments of the image)

flower looks like its lopsided, so it kinda takes away from the shot. if u put that flat side at the top, it might work better but still, id have found better specimen.

oo and nice exposure tho!

Pretty colors on this one. I am not so sure about the soft focus on the flower. I gave it a little photoshop treatment - adding unsharp mask 25,50,0 then 85,0.5,0 two times. I think it makes it pop more.

Stunning! I especially like the framing of the eyes! (Good choice on coloring too.)

Cheers,

I love narrow DOF. This might be fun in black and white as well.

Lovely bokeh. I might crop out that hint of flowers at the top. ;~D
