Like the way this turned out. Subtle. (Well, the title could be much better).

Congratulations on your score, I think it is similar to metatate's photo.

I like it. I'd be willing to bet that you've gotten a comment or two about this one looking washed out or a bit overexposed in the background. While it may be a hair on the hot side, I think your chosen exposure works very well to isolate your subject and make him pop right off the screen. I also like your composition, placing him almost against the right side of the frame. It gives the viewer great insight into the entire scene. Nice work meeting the challenge, and a very strong capture in my opinion.

I love it ... I can feel anxiety in this character

That is one brave soul! Cars too close for my taste. I think it does make an interesting statement (outside of the gas thing, even) and I like the composition.

Now that seems dangerous! I would give odds that he fell at least once. Very nice grab, by the way.

unique. like the processing of an odd mix of over smoothing and over graininess. like how you've timed it to distance the biker from the group of cars.

very nice and interesting postprocessing. (I assume it was not through a dirty windshield?)

I don’t have much knowledge on street photography but my thoughts on you shot are as follows: I love this shot as I like the way the biker is all by himself showing his struggle to get home in this terrible weather. I like the black and white tones of the photo also. 10

I wish the title weren't what it is; it seems to be pointing me rather heavy-handedly. I'd like the title "transportation" better, which alludes to a lot of things without forcing any of them on us. Great shot, anyway :-)

Crazy weather. Looks like around my house this past week. Great capture. Clarity and sharpness are right on with your main subject. A little bright for my taste on the street, but a great shot non the less.
