The more I look at this photo, the more I love it and hate it all at once. I'm sure the composition could use some improvement. C&C would be welcome and much appreciated. :thumb

    The shot look great to me...I don't know what there is to hate about. You might want to crop it a little tighter, but personally I like it.

    I might go even tighter. Especially the horizontal crop.

    I like the pano aspect ratio, but the background provides nothing, especially the rows of tires or the rock/dirty wall.

    I think this will be a winner once you have a better crop.

    Nicely done! thumb.gif

    I guess I felt it gave a little more depth to the photo, but maybe it's more distracting than anything. I actually cut one of the riders out with the idea of having a tighter crop the first time I posted it. If anybody wants to show me how they'd crop it, feel free. I'm still learning and I'd be more than happy to see others' opinions. Here's the original.

    MJRPHOTO, thanks! Just curious, now, if you'd include the trailing rider in the shot or not. ne_nau.gif
