This was my second year to attend the Harvest Classic in Luckenbach. I always find the skills of the Trials Bike riders amazing.

C&C welcome!

    Cool shot. Lets see more.
    Here is my CC. Bad background. Not that you could help that with this one, just a wider aperture to blur it more. And a tighter crop. An 8x10 on this would be about perfect. It would pull the bottom in tighter without loosing your tree obstacle.

    Thank you for the critique. You've made some really good points I'll try and work with next time around. Yeah, the background is what it is. Behind the hill where they approached was a sea of tents and spectators. Where I was standing, they popped through the tree so there was some risk, but the wider aperture would fix that.




    So here's some more of the day's events. The entire gallery is HERE Enjoy!

    Correct! That'd be one heck of a hard ride, eh? The bike you reference was pretty amazing in itself when you looked close. All the wiring/electrics/switches etc were concealed. About the only stock item other than the engine/drivetrain/wheels was the steering head bearing assembly. The rest was all fabricated. Only reason I included it was to sort of do the PJ representation of shots to give the viewer an idea of what all Harvest Classic is about. Thx!
