a few wide ones

I have been having a play with some wide shots, anyone wanna give any feedback?

I like 1 better than 2 (he's just turning, not falling right? yikes!) and 3 is very appealing to me. I like that it's very simple, but still has interesting details.

i like the framing, they look like a web banner.

however, as pure photographs they remind me of a recent critique i fielded on my snow photos - perhaps it's just a lot of useless information?

also, i'm just not sure about the intrest in the ass end of a motorcycle in an action shot. are you?

i hate that black and white and color gimmick. i liked the effect in "rumble fish". however copolla made that flick in the 70's. color and bikes are a natural.

i like the isolation in #3, and i like the pose - it's unusual.

The first shot with the lean into the curve, would work better (to me) in a tighter crop. The extra space doesn't seem to do much for it. I'm not a big fan of selective coloring and it does not add much to this particular shot. The last shot is the best to me. In this shot the extra space does work. The distance from the rider in addition to the space gives a feeling of the isolation and dedication to perfecting his craft. Seeing the tire marks, which the wide shot allows, gives an added sense of all the practice and competition required of the sport.

I don't like the second. I do like the third. For the first one its a matter of composition to me. I want to see where the rider is going. All that space to the right is space the rider is not going, nor ever has been. Everything that is interesting is to the left. Just move your camera a bit left next time.

3 hands down. If you want a suggestion the only thing I might do would be burn the clouds a little to get a little depth in them.
