Quite happy with this one. Straight from camera, just resized. Any feedback?

Tom Dowie?

Nice shot but I think you need to get a little closer and get the rider to fill the frame a little more. With the 10mm this is really quite scary though as you have to be alarmingly close to them.

Good job on getting his head fairly sharp but conveying the motion too.

Did you use any fill flash? That can help give the rider more pop and lift them from the background.

Get lower down to really convey the feeling of him 'catching air' (or whatever you youngsters say nowadays ).

Cool feedback. Thanks

It is Tom Dowie.

No flash used. I haven't got an external flash yet, and the inbuilt one causes big shadows at the bottom of the frame.

I couldn't get that much closer as I was on the tracks edge. If I was doing a shoot with a rider, then that would be much easier
