great photo!though personally i would have cropped it slighty to remove the pedestrian but its pretty good!

I think the composition is dead on as usual. I disagree and think that the lone spectator adds needed interest to the shot. The chaseing motorcycles are in a perfect position. My only problem is the lack of detail in the trees in the upper right. Wind blowing or bad scan? I have seen a couple of yours that could have been bad scans? But well done again Tuna always a pleasure. I think the cyclist will be here in Rome next week.

yes i suppose i can see your point! The actuall Rome is a beautifull city!my italian uncle lives near the big park thing i forgot what its called though!

Hi Tuna,

This is an interesting shot. It kind seems a little ludicrous in a way, having this cyclist in his race clothes, with a camera following him, only a single spectator, and no other racers. If not for you title I would have thought something very strange was going on. Your choice of a shallow depth of field with precise focus on the rider does a good job of drawing attention to a small subject in a wide composition, as does his yellow outfit against the dark bg. Nice shot!

I like the trio, pedestrian, bicycle and motorcycle. Works for me.

I think I would have croped it some myself, the trees are a bit of a distraction. The green is out of place, I held two papers up to the monitor to see what a crop would look like and think less would be more IMHO

I think the lone fan is actually pretty interesting...as he is the only one. Also the expression on the biker's face adds to the feel of the shot.

Tuna,

Composition is spot on and I would change nothing.

My only one nit pic is the trailing motor cycle, I would have toned him down a little as he competes with the cyclist which is the centre of interest. Getting the one spectator was inspirational in my opinion.

Have you sold it to the cycle rags?
