Hi every one
First of all I want apologize for my english, it is not my language.

I like the picture, but the rear wheel is cut and I woud prefer o lower angle shot.

Cool! I'd like to see the whole bike in the shot, I don't think it works to crop the back wheel. I do like the upwards motion of the rider, and the framing. A longer lens with a more shallow depth of field would help you soften the background a bit, which would help isolate the biker against the environment.

I like the blur in the shot, but it could use a bit wider crop to show off more of the rider. I also would try to setup in a spot where the rider will be more in the sun and facing into the sun. This way they will be better lit. Here's a post I did with 10 tips for shooting biking.
