    Like it. Maybe more room (a touch) on the left and perhaps a little more subtle in the blur.

    yeah, the blur is obviously PSed, so tone it down a bit so that it's not so obvious. Other than that, very nice. great color, sharp, very fun. Well done.

    James, I had been wondering about you as I had not seen you post for quite a while. Good to see you back, and well. I think you have a great , action shot here, but I agree about the blur being a bit over the top around the rider and quad, that is. Great colors, and composition. good work

    Nice to see you posting again James. As with the others, the blur is awfully too much for my liking. Though, if you were needing to add text to the right, this would be the perfect blur effect for it.

    Nice shot however though, I would be interested to see the original.

    You got some crisp colours going here. Good pose too. Also what's that on top of his helmet? They got tomahawk helmets now?

    The blur would work better, I think, if the blur from the wheels didn't extend in front of the wheels, if you know what I mean. The guys going forward, right? The blur should follow rearward. BTW, I should state I'm not a fan of faked in blur. On the other notes, yeah, it's good crisp picture (the part meant to be crisp) and you have good color. I also agree that there should be a bit more space to on the left of the frame.

    Love it. The blur's fun and the rider's mohawk is funny. The composition is perfect!
