Greetings from the Critique Club!

Great capture of a somewhat ominous racer in black chasing down the competition. I love in-camera techniques like panning and zoomblur, but sadly most voters seem to see both as the work of the devil. That's the only reason I can come up with as to why so many perfectly good images get voted down. The exposure is fine for a bike race in sunny olde England :-)

Voters also tend to dislike tight crops. I think your cyclist may have benefited from more space around your subject. Whom I like a lot; he dominates. Like that the pan trail behind him is shorter than the guy he's chasing down! And it's a Free Study, where anything goes, and oddly enough portraits and images of people tend to do poorly. Go figure.

Hope this has helped in some way,

Susan

Powerful pov. I love the design elements of this. Every time I've gone through I've bumped this up. It's now in my top 3.

I like how you hide your subjects by drowning the viewers in the foreground details.
