    Blowing a Stop.

    I wanted to take some pic of cyclists running a stop sign.

    I think the third one is the money shot. I didn't really notice the cyclist in the first one and the second one is hard to make out that it is a cyclist.

    Yup - the third one does it for me. The thing I like about this image is that the meaning isnot immediately obvious. You have to look at it (assuming we didn't have the benefit of your explanation in advance) and suddenly realise what is happening.

    Looks like there are two bikes in the first one with one at the stop sign and the other in the middle of the intersection. I like the third one the best but think it would have been much better if the car had been completely stopped to emphasize the cyclist "Blowing a Stop", Jeff

    I think the shutter is just too slow and the bike too lost in the blur.
    I like the idea but I think the cyclist needs more definition even in the third.
    Keep Shooting!

    Hmmm..... good point.

    I'll try it with the same shutter speed AND a flash! :thumbsup:

    Have to agree with Frog. I like the third but a little more definition of the cyclist would really grab my attention.
