Great capture of a somewhat ominous racer in black chasing down the competition. I love in-camera techniques like panning and zoomblur, but sadly most voters seem to see both as the work of the devil. That's the only reason I can come up with as to why so many perfectly good images get voted down. The exposure is fine for a bike race in sunny olde England :-)
Voters also tend to dislike tight crops. I think your cyclist may have benefited from more space around your subject. Whom I like a lot; he dominates. Like that the pan trail behind him is shorter than the guy he's chasing down! And it's a Free Study, where anything goes, and oddly enough portraits and images of people tend to do poorly. Go figure.
Hey! Grog has alredy used title "The Chase" for Grog's own pikchur of fast rolly things. Taker-of-images is fortunet that Grog not take kopyrite on title. Grog rekomends using more originel title next time, like "Window to soul" or "The sentinul". Doing will avoid unplesantnes of Thag coming for long visit.
Oh, and is Grate pikchur. Grog usually give 8 for inspyring comment, but this get 10 for grateness.
