 The best thing about this shot is the fellow's body language. Look at the set of his jaw. His eyes are firmly on the road ahead. He should be racing, not proceeding at a decorous 25 mph. down a city street.

I am getting tired of motor scooters and bicycles. Will try and get something more interesting tomorrow.

His face is classic! ...and your motion panning is just as good! Way to keep this one sharp.

I like that he is all dressed up warmly with long pants and jacket and is wearing sandals. I agree with Jon - he is probably pretending to be on a Harley lol.

I love scooters, brightly colored Vespas and the like. I've often wondered why they aren't more popular in the U.S., though I guess that is changing. You may feel the need to move on from wheeled transportation, but I think these photos make a nice theme throughout your 50 day portfolio.

I absolutely agree with your commentary, that looks like the most determined scooter rider I have ever seen. I am sure in his mind he is on a Harley!!!!

The red of the scooter adds alovely splash of colour and again you have captured great motion blur

I noticed that expression before I read your comments. Don't give up on scooters pictures if they're as good as this one.

You've definetly perfected the motion blur! His expression is great & you really captured the colors.

Very nice capture. I happy to see another two-wheeled photo of yours. Don't abandon them! I think you're onto something here. :o)

Nice motion shot. His sandals definitely don't match his stern face...
