single photos On your knees!

This was considered by American Honda for a win ad.

You took a nice, tight shot of the action here. The cycler behind him really adds to it. I would have liked to have seen a little bit of blurring of the landscape to indicate motion, but I would figure that'd be a bit complicated to do at that particular point in the track.

Nice. No way to pan for blur when the bike is coming right at you. The only picky things that might have made it better would be to have the tyre contact patch in-frame, and for the rider to wear a lighter visor so that his eyes are visible :-) Is this Nicky Haydn? I know names from US superbikes, but don't see them to know the numbers (except Mladin & Gobert...)

I'm pretty sure it is Nicky Hayden. He's sponsered by Joe Rocket and runs #69.

Oh, and I like the pic. You're not likely to get a shot of their eyes, I think most of them wear tinted visors to reduce glare.... even in the rain.

 

Great shot - better number.

Cool shot. Maybe a litte more room (6 inches) on the left.
