Interesting interpretation. I like it. Great color and balance. Love the full shadow on the ground.

Nice stop action. The finish line will take awile to reach without motion though. I like the idea but would have blurred the background slightly if possible.

For me, I might have cropped out that one little white corner in the lower right. I like the shadow of the rider.

I like that you included the crowd for reference. Colors are well rendered. Composition, POV, DOF, well done. 7
