Hi ruhaz and welcome. Liked photo number three.

Hello, ruhaz, I really liked the 2nd photo, nice angle

Welcome to the site. We like cycling on PhotographyREVIEW.com!

Are photos one and two crops from much larger photos? They both appear a bit harsh. And the second one looks like it could use a bit of adjustment. The cyclists are a bit flat. It needs a bit of contrast and saturation to give it some more pop. There's a lot of knowledge on this site - both for photographic and software technique. Let us know if we can help you with the shooting or the photo setup.

Glad to have you. It's cool to see roadracing photos from Malaysia. I'm supposed to go shoot the Tour of California, tomorrow. I actually almost forgot. Your photos just reminded me

Hey - just to be fair, I want to say that bicycle roadracing is the hardest thing I've ever shot. I think it's way harder to shoot than motorsports. In fact, I shot the third stage of the Tour de California today and had a terrible day. I'm very disappointed and feeling pretty stupid about it. I'll be happy if I can salvage a couple of good photos. I plan to post about it in my blog, tomorrow. I learned a very obvious lesson that other people might benefit from. At the least, it will make a funny story

yup i agree with you john...
it's hard to shoot cyclist as they travel by groups...
i managed to panning one cyclist since he was alone far from the groups

it's hard to do panning in groups!!!
