Criterium Racers

I would appreciate any & all evaluations of this photo for effective

portrayal of this bicycle racing event.

Good photo, but I think I would crop it a bit. Also the motorist is a bit distracting. Perhaps a bit of motion blur would have added a sense of speed, if you're not opposed to it (as some are) you might add some digitally. But all these remarks are very much IMHO.

first i would like to thank you for your answer to my question regarding....nikon5700/mac I photo.29dec2004.

I always like to see opposition or contrast in an image.....i like the fact that opposite to man powered bikes you have an motor powered bike.....man versus machine......i would actually emphasize the motorbike so this photo is viewed not only as a sport picture but as an artistic and philosophical image.........one more thing i just noticed.....in real time.....,maybe few seconds, the 2 types of bikers would actually cross path........good work.
