Hey guys! I shot this last weekend! I think this is my favourite photograph I've taken in a long, long time. Lets here it.

Heyho,

I think its a great catch, in that you got a really nice sharp mid-air shot, but I
don't think its great from an artistic viewpoint. The guy in the foreground really
distracts me from the bike. Also, the photo background all seems to be at a
slight angle, which I find distracting.

However, you timing was excellent, and the subject is interesting. I'd like to see
more emphasis on the bike. Here's an example of what I'd try to do with the photo...
(My editing is crap at the mo, cos I'm on a laptop with a sticky touchpad, but you
get the idea - crop out the distracting man, and throw the background completly
out of focus)

Hope this is helpful :-)

Dave

Agreed, and the cropped flags are a tad distracting. Other than that, and what the previous post mentioned, I like it.

You can also raise the black in the foreground of the guy standing up so its looks like the foreground is all black.

Of just fill the frame with the biker. Looks good
