Excellent pan shot, but maybe too good. With the background that blurred, it really doesn't give me a sense of motion and removes the context of what is going on. - TF

Feel free to edit my photos or do anything else that will help me learn.

Yeah that was edited that way. For some reason the original pan didnt blur as much as I am used to. The original is below! I went overboard on the PS. Never done it before.....
I prefer the unphotoshoped version. The extra blur created in ps lowerd the overall contrast and "pop". I can see more detail and better composition in the unedited version. Great job!
Quite a good bit of PS work there.
I think it's overdone for my taste, and lacks sharpness on the rider.
It looks like there is blur forward form his arm and helmet.
But it really does give a good impression of speed, which is the whole point of the edit.
Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

Ian: I agree with your edited version. It really shows the speed of the rider ( I bet the person in the shot really likes it).
See you at Sea Otter (If you make the drive)

Yeah I may get stuck camping with like 20 21 year olds! That means little sleep and lots of noise. Not sure may get a hotel I am 50/50 right now on that......:idea:
