I wish they weren't on top of each other in the pic, but good capture of a brief moment of looking back.

nice moment with a bit lack of panning or more panning but its obvious that it was hard to achieve from that angle ... six from me ;)

Great action shot, I know this is out of your control and I'm not knocking off points for it but it would be nice if the follower were off to the outside or inside line a tad. Would further the battle between these two riders.

Amazing focus and color. Very cool shot! I really like the tilted composition too.

good focus,the 2nd rider is too in-lne with 1st, this reduces the impact of the chase. 6

a well presented image nice crisp image

There is very little in the shot to convey motion - shutter speed was high enough to do a total stop action. Bikers are one directly behind the other, so you can's easily see the guy behind (maybe that was the point?). Nice colors - especially like the red on the gloves.

Interpretation of Topic: Interesting Choice
Photography: Neat Shot!
Viewers Reaction: I am not sure this is a Hidden Gem, more like a hidden problem.

A panning shot would convey a message of how fast the driver was driving.

The diabolical Black Elf makes his escape, but does not get far before our dynamic hero, Blue Bolt, is right on his tail.

Nice and bright action shot. I like the shadows pointing to the right.

Nice action shot. Would have prefered if the second bike was not obscured by the first.

good stop action

I'm a biker and I confess I'm drawn to motorcycle photos. I like the optical illusion here ... it looks at first blush like two riders on one bike ... but they're racing ... so that doesn't make sense ... oh, there's a second bike almost completely hidden. I like that.

good focus; a 10th of a second earlier or later might have been the right moment to have both bikers visible in the frame

I think this photo would be stronger if the person behind the #11 rider was slightly offset so we could see a little more of them.

great stopped motion capture, it's amusing that he is checking behind him whilst riding around the corner

Nice stop action. I really like the composition and detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:35:08 PM
Great capture but IMHO a touch slower shutter speed to add a little more motion blur might have kicked it up a bit more. good job though.

I really like the crisp bright whites.
