I like the feel of motion here, but I wish I could see what he is riding, also would be nice if he had some room to ride. otherwise i like it! next time try zooming out

Ditto! I want to at least see the motorcycle, if not the cart as well. But you've done a nice job of capturing the motion - a very nice job!

I'm kinda motion-blurred out after the DSS
That said, there isn't much of a street story here, it's just a guy on some sort of motor bike/cart. Based on what seems to be the defining idea of street photography, there should be some context to create story, interaction, environment, or humor. Given I've said that, I expect one the street guys to come in and say this is perfect Sorry.

Good job on the motion, definitely gives that feel. Maybe a different crop, like not as centered might give it a little bit more strength.

Not gonna say it! You are spot on, absolutely, incontrovertibly right

Now I just need to reliably put theory into practice. [I know practice is the key word...]

Considering that I took it with my lovely 60mm prime micro lens, ZOOMING in or out would be rather difficult when I only had enough room to turn, and the lens....:D

Thank you all the same though!

The fact that you faced technical limitations unfortunately doesn't make the image something it is not. We often miss potential 'great ones' because we have the wrong lens, the wrong iso setting, have a lens cap on, or simply don't have a camera with us. It's not unlike having the wrong lure at the end of the fishing line as the 'big one' flits by.

Mr. Quiet

Rub it it why don't you
