The jaggies in an image are always bothersome to me and I would have prefered a solid black background, but your concept, framing and capture makes this an outstanding image.

The Race

Congratulations on your ribbon. This is the quintessential bike racer motion blur shot. Perfect focus on the entire rider and bike and it is top notch technical quality. This is front cover material for any racing magazine. It amazes how well you captured that at 1/60th.

Congratulations on your blue ribbon. It is about time. In my opinion your image "Umm... Yeah, sure you can ride for free..." from the flight challenge is one of the best images ever posted at DPC and should have been a blue ribbon winner itself.

Neon Zoom

Congrats on the coveted "green" ribbon. :) I am disappointed I did not comment on it during the challenge after I finished voting, but I felt this was the overall "best". It is technically superior to almost all others, it has a great perspective and your method of using zoom gives you complete control yet it is simple and very creative. No luck involved here. Kudos to you for a great shot.

What an concept! The expression is great, the perspective is great and the RR trakes for a backgound works adds a great deal of interest to this image. How do you think of stuff like that? Wish you had darken the area to the right of your model just a touch more in post processing. This is fine work!

Interesting how a 180 degree orientation shift changes an image entirely. :)

Only a true photographer match the chimneys with the sky.

Mountain Light

I know the dramatic lighting of the mountains is artificial and brought out by creative post processing, but the result is stunning. This has got fine art print written all over it.
