    Downhill MTB Riding Last Weekend

    Went out and did some shooting of the yet to be released 2011 Specialized Demo. Used the 1Ds II that camera just plain kills it! I will load more soon.

    I like those flowers in the foreground but I think this is way too centered and the rider is too small. on the other hand, crop the empty space from the top and the right and it starts to get very tasty

    Crop from the top to just above that bump of vegetation above the rider's head. Just leave a wedge of blue sky. And then crop from the right to the edge of that last, lone white flower. I think that's an excellent composition.

    agreed. I would have cropped it so you can see the trail in front of him.
