 Woke up early to go shoot the riders at Palomar Mtn, wanted to get a reflective visor shot, turned out to be a rainy day at the start so not a lot of riders, I hope my reflective matter for this idea is received well :)

I have an image in another challenge right now that I believe is missed on a lot of folks, and a more obvious title probably would have made it very apparent. And to think just a few challenges ago I was getting blasted for having too crafty a title! haha oh well, I'm in it for the PICS! thanks for the comment though. One day I will 7.0 or ribbon.. one DAY.

I had this image as my winner when I voted. I liked everything about it and thought it had enough of a reflection to be considered strong.

Ah I meant to comment on this. I will say that I did not see much of a reflection here. And after reading your comments I still don't think it's all that prominent - too many other cool things competing with it. And that's why I wanted to comment - this is one heck of a capture! Getting him at the moment just when his knee is gracing the ground - very cool.

Cool shot, but not particularly strong on meeting the challenge.

Saw this as I was browsing the thumbs. I think this is the winner! Looks tonemapped, and done so well.

Nicely focused and the color is excellent. I'm having to really search for the reflection - on the hubcap? Voted earlier.

For my taste the reflecting visor needs tighter cropping to transport the idea

Great action shot! Nice colors, too.

Good shot for itself, but a closer crop would have been more useful for the challenge

Great job making the reflection a supporting player in this high energy photo.

Amazing shot. Incredible clarity, and subtle reflection, which may work against it.
