 While shooting horses, I turned around when I heard the bike. Got exactly ONE shot off, fortunately was already shooting in AI Servo. Darkened this considerably because of uninteresting foreground and dirt bike detail, I thought the silhouette was more compelling and the darkening definitely added drama to the sky. The tower is an old orange grove warming blower. Minor cloning, and left the power line alone.

great photo. The colors are really awesome. The dust coming off the back tire is really nice too. I would have liked to have the structure taken out or cropped, and the same goes for that wire in the backround.

For me, I would have cropped out the vertical object on the left, but otherwise I like the sky colors and your shot fits the username you chose.

I'd crop out the metal structure to the left and just have the guy and the mountains. I like the silhouette and the golden tones. Maybe reduce the dark foreground a bit more too and zoom in on the rider more.

I think I would have cropped out the pole on the left, and cloned out the wire. Otherwise a great shot.

Good photo... I would have taken time to crop it tighter & clone out the wires.
