 Originally just wanted a shot of the winding road with

the sign, but this guy came up the hill & saw me

shooting (everyone thought I was radar & slowed down).

I motioned for him to go again, so he turned around

and gunned it past me going downhill.

usually it is better when a cyclist is sharp, but the rest of the picture is blurred. i am not against radical experiments of any kind, but here you should have stuck to traditional approach :)

Interesting try at this capture. I myself would have loved to have been the rider. I think this may be a little oversharpened.

This looks like this shot was a lot of fun to take.

A nice motion shot. I love the extra movement that the curve of the road adds.

Well done. I like the feel of motion in the blur. I like the off-center placement of the subject, with plenty of room in the frame to "drive into".
