    Agreed, and you really made them sing in post. Nice color and contrast.

    I would play with cropping them, but no guarantees it'd make it any better. :D

    I liked the second shot because it's got a nice pattern of bikes
    behind the lead rider. And the DOF is purty too thumb.gif

    Good stuff Seamus!

    Backgrounds, I sometimes will simply not take a shot (re: waste time) if the backgrounds are crappy. With such a small subject matter (motorcycles) the background is very important, say vs a car that will fill a alrger portion of the frame...

    Nice work, Seamus.thumb.gif

    Do you happen to follow your countryman, Alastair Seeley's, progress here in the States this year?

    Here's a shot of him from this past weekend.

    I enjoyed watching him race. Great looking bike too.
