2 shots

[ThoughtfulPirate]

I posted these in sports photography, but I didnt really get much input (thats not what that forum is for though) so I figured I would cross post them over to here. What do you guys think of these two shots, I must have been having an "on" day or something, because I love these, but I got NO good shots when I shot the next day. So what do you think, does the one work with part of his head cut?

Also, thats an airplane behind his rear wheel in the jump picture, cool little touch.

I like both of them, but the second one is my favorite. I like the way the sun shines through the front part of the bike. Great shot!

I think these are the best images I have seen from you Andy!
I missed them in the Sports Forum! Sorry! I don't check that one as often as I do, say this forum.....

I like the pan, it works with out a complete head, it has the face which is more important.
The silhouette is a good image! You are really starting to see stuff differently!
It is a good shot nice and tight, but I think it would be better if you pulled back for a little more scenery.

You were certainly on that day! I hope you were equally as on, when you were on the bike!

The second one is sweet. I love the juxtaposition of the flying bike and the aircraft in the background. That's a really interesting moment you caught.
