this was a totally blown exposure...3 stops+ overexposed. Somehow I switched to manual exposure and thought I was in aperture priority. Salvaged because it was shot raw.

Cool shot - but a little distracting - maybe moving a little to the left or lower would clean up the cluttered background. That, or opening up the aperature for a shallow DOF. Not sure about the B&W for this subject.

Great capture but a bit 'busy' for my liking. Are the guys taking photos entering the challenge too?!

Great candid shot...the B & W is really nice take on it....I love the guy on the left leaning in to get a shot....excellent timing.

Nice capture! I think this shot could use a bit more contrast, but overall I like it!

Nice shot, I would have preferred a shallower DOF to isolate the subject better from the busy background - 7

8 - Good action shot. Good crowd feel too. Criticism; sharper focus, more 'bold, on the rider, maybe tighter crop (top right), perhaps showing more depth/perspective of where he is going to land.

I would have cropped out the snappers on the LHS. Nice BW though. It's hard to BW a shot with a cluttered background, but the long shot helps by misting the distance.

great subject, the biker is a little underexposed. It's so hard to tell what is my screen and what is the picture (although I believe I have the gamma and contrast set correctly).

Might have cropped out the left third or so of this one. Too many distracting people in perfect focus competing with the rider. The B&W is a nice touch though.

Wow. Nice dof, action and lighting. The b&w I think is a winner. -8-

How do you post such a large image? This looks bigger than the 640 limit.

That's kinda cool to make it look like an old photo, as if finding it in an old newspaper. Well done effect!
