 Taken at ET Motorpark in Arizona.

Cropped, levels adjusted, sharpened and Neat Imaged.

I was shooting the riders for about an hour with my wife, with this challenge in mind. This was my first time doing action photography like this and I was very happy with how my camera (not a SLR) performed. I'd like a little better focus and detail, but I'm happy with it.

Great campture and nice timing. Id almost like to see a similar shot with a wider angle. Would be cool to see some ground, or background to put their jump into context.

Great shot it looks like they are really flying. Some post processing would really help this shot pop.

Liked this one alot! Thought it shoulda placed higher, but then I'm an ex-motocrosser, so I am biased. Nice capture! Not a bad finish.

very nice, very clear. I think I would like to have seen a little of the ground on the bottom to ground the picture more.

8 - Good clean shot against a clear sky. Criticism; perhaps a little darker coloring. More sharpness. Maybe black and white, not sure. Something to 'bring out' the 'chrome' would be good and maybe some 'spinning' of the wheels, if possible, just for an edge.

Good. I think I would have cropped with more sky at the bottom than at the top as it is now. This would convey the feeling that the bikers are higher.
