I would tone the sharpness down a bit. They look oversharpened.
Concur. I couldn't decide if it was sharpness or contrast too high, or both. I don't think they're far off. Overall, a nice series of photos.
I have a monitor that seems to mute the photos. When I turn the sharpness up on my camera to compensate, they look better on the monitor. But when I process a printed photo, you can tell they are over sharpened. So I live with a little dullness on the monitor, knowing the printed product will look nice.

Help me out, guys. Which ones look oversharpned, and why. Are you seeing halos on them? I did little sharpening in PP. I've posted these in a couple forums, and these are the first comments about over sharpening.

Maybe my SM sharpening settings are too high.
As far as contrast, D300 was set at +1.
First off, this is all very subjective, just like gymnastic judging.:D I think they are oversharpened just a bit. Just turn it down on a few shots and compare. I think it's one of those things where we try to get as much "pop" as possible, but go a little too far sometimes.
Plus everybodys eyes and monitors are different. I don't have a calibrated monitor. I have found what looks good on my monitor, may not look good in print. I use Smugmug services for my good prints and if camera settings are set to sharpen things up for my monitor, they will be oversharpened in print.
I have a 30D and use +1 sharpening setting and default settings on the rest. I do very little post prosscessing, except for some minor cropping. 500+ bike photos a session and the riders just have to take what comes out of the camera.

Those pics are beautiful! The colors are so vivid and the pans are so right on!
How do you do that?

Thanks, Chuck.
Something that helped with the colors on #1-11, was using flash.
As far as panning, I've been shooting MX, and panning, off and on, for about 30 years. I have a good keeper rate.
