Motocross shot

hi
I didnt have to many chances to take sport shots -. My friend asked me to take a few shots when he is on his bike - one of the pictures :
btw - seems like sport photography is fun

Thanks for sharing. Nice composition for the shot. I am not big on the vignette. The shot looks a little soft.

It's a nice composition but the vignette is too much and I think the whole thing needs to have some fill light added.

I like it. Just riding or flying into the vignette, crop a little more on the left. I'm sure the vignette was so you could bring in the blue sky or lack there of. Little fill light on the rider would be nice.

Nice shot, but I would crop a little on the right hand side, have the bike flying INTO the shot, not out. The vignette is just way, way too strong. Love the choice of font for his name in the top (what font is that?). And yes, fill light, fire your flash! You are shooting underneath the rider, and the main light source is above the rider. When I photography motocross back in 2004-2007 I fired the flash on every shot. Period. It makes a nice difference.
