    I like it as is, nice job! The only thing I might change is getting rid of the bright upper left, but that's seriously nit-picky.

    I'd leave it. I think it provides some balance to the lower right and helps to give the sense of speed.

    As I said, it's being very nit-picky. While it could be cloned out, I would probably try burning it slightly or using other methods to knock down the brightness a tad and see how it looks. It's certainly a very nice shot as it is.

    Crop
    Hi Gary,
    First, your photo taking skills have improved greatly since your first posts :)
    You're getting a good eye for those motorcycles.
    Now for the crop, I would have left some image on the right to give the rider a place to go. So yes, I think the crop is too tight for a panning shot.

    Hi Gary, great shot.. I think I would extend that area in front of him a bit as well, feels a bit tight to me. It would be easy to do with the cloning tool and then use the blur tool or patch tool as well..thumb.gif

    Hi Gary,
    I'm liking the feeling of this shot better than the tight crop. I did like the crop, but this one is better IMHO.

    Just my .02,
    Chris

    A picture is but words to the eyes.
