Any suggestions for this photo?
Last weekend was round 4 of the World Motocross Grand Prix in Valkenswaard the Netherlands. In focus is Cedric Melotte (7) followed by fellow Belgian and 7-time world champion Stefan Everts. Both are following Frenchman Mickael Pichon. Everts won.

GREETING FROM "happy world of criticism club by mehmet"
i particularly have a grudge against motocross photography, perhaps because they always rank at top 3 :P, but i am gonna make an exception in this case.. this actually is an interesting photo. i liek how you captured 3 racers at once.. you can almost feel the adrenaline pumping through their body.. this photo could have been a lot more powerfull if the focus was on the closest bike i think. that being said i think it is a nice image overall. you have one of the better motocross captures over here, and bravo for that..

Thanks for your comments. I got lucky with the shot of course. I didn't know all three would be visible when Melotte (7) crested the hill, but glad they were.
I really wanted the crowd cheering in the pic and I knew they would be cheering for the last two guys in the pic, ergo the focus point.
Glad you like it.
