oooohhh, i like it....maybe more focus on the two main riders by changing the depth of field to blur out the rest of the pack.....i like their juxtoposition with each other......and maybe in color....their racing clothes are always so colorful, i would like to see that.....just my personal opinions.....but i think it is a great shot.....good job.....

You did a great job putting the main character (the pack leader) in the right third. I would trip to *slightly* crop to get him more toward the bottom in the corner...just by shaving a bit off the bottom of the shot. I like how the riders further back are out of focus, gives a good contrast with the sharpness of the leader.

Thanks wanderalla and sunvalley23, I was lucky to catch him during the beginning of the race. My friend blended with the other cyclist towards the middle of the race but he ended it placing 3rd.

I wanted to practice panning shots but I guess distance is needed to execute a good panning shot.
