Default First try in Sports/Action

Hi all,

Until now I've made some landscape photography. I like landscape photography because there is no people in the pictures

Now I'm trying something completly diferent. In the last mtb ride with my friends I toke the olympus C5060 with me (It's hard to carry my D80 in this rides) and I've made some pictures of this ride. I will show one of my favourites, so I can get some opinions.

I've take this pictures in jpeg format , made some cropping and some contrast adjustements (used MS Office Picture Manager, this computer has no photoshop installed ) .
I've used panning technique, but for a very short amount of time because I has shoting at a 45º angle with the rider, and I'll lost focus very quickly.

I can feel the bike frame shaking under that road. Nice shot.

Great for a first try, and that is a hard technique. But just as a side note, in this SYS section you probably won't get much opinion or critique, if that is what you were searching for. You may want to post it in the Critique section for more feedback or advice.
