Interesting shot. I like the composition. It's a bit flat so it's hard to pick out the rider and what he is. With a little pp, this can be a pretty good photo.

Couldn't figure out how to edit my last post so here's what I wrote...

There's also a lot of stuff in the bottom of the photo, none of which leads you to the rider--the subject. You might want to crop a bit tighter on the rider.

I agree what the poster above said. The photo looks very busy and the foreground is too cluttered with branches of trees, rocks, etc.

Cheers!

Yes. I would like to bring the rider out a little more but im not sure how to do that just yet?
I was thinking that the thick woods is actually part of the subject. I was trying to get a feel for the ride more than focusing on the rider and adding depth to the shot. Thanks for all suggestions!
