*Critique Club*
I have studdied this shot over and over. Parts of my brain want to like parts of it, and parts of my brain don't want to like parts of it. I'm confued on weather or not I actually do like it.
Technically I believe it's pretty well done. Focus is crisp on parts of the photo, other parts aren't due to the motion blurr, but that was intentional obviously.
I think what's bothering me here is that most of the leg and shoe are see through but the end of the shoe doesn't have that same effect.
Also I think that the photo is rather flat in tones. There's no darks or lights. It's kind of all mid tones. I would like to see some contrast.
What I like really is the gear thingy. The center looks really neat and I could look at that for a long time and not be bored. There is a softness and a pattern there that draws my attention. Actually drawing it away from the shoe.
Background is great, nothing distracting there. Overall a good take on the challenge, but lacking something to really make it pop. Maybe that contrast?

| Hey that's my idea! Actually, you took the idea much further, I like how your shutter is so slow that you get a full revolution in the blur. And the duo-tone gives it an interesting antique feel. See if you spot mine in the other 465 ;-) (Actually, it turns out there's three of us with this idea, and I'm pretty sure the third one will beat us both. Looks he mounted the camera on the bike, yikes!) |

| The movement, lighting and tone lift this above the other cycling shoe pictures. I am surprised there were so many! This makes it into my top 20. |

| Good photo, the movement makes it interesting. The tone is soft and calm, it's relaxing to look at - perhaps knowing that someone is sweating and that I am hangin behind a screen helps too :) - It has a classic touch. |

| Im suspecting that theres a lot of chrome and silver in this shot. I wish it was in color. I was also thinking of doing this same shot. Im glad i didn't. Nice try. |

| Nice shot, great action, but not enough contrast. This may have been a better shot for color, but that's just me. |
