    G'day stanford. Can you explain what you see is wrong so we can give you some specific advise to correct what you want advise on ?

    Also we would really need to see the EXIF (shutter speed..aperture..lens length etc etc) info of the photo to be able to pinpoint more about the photo. The EXIF is avail on smugmug...just copy & paste it.

    Lot of free good help avail in here & a lot of people that will happily point you in the right direction thumb.gif

    I messed about for a couple of min's and:
    Put the pic level.
    cloned the cable.
    Cloned the bottom left light.
    Dodged the bike down a bit.


    It looks a bit like a pasted bike into a shot. I'd try and keep the wheels moving a bit to show motion. Less flash.

    Is that what your looking for?

    First, I like the shots, they turned out good.

    A few things that may make them better.
    1. Try another angle, maybe to avoid the wire in the background.
    2. Slow the shutter down a little. You want to get the tires to blur a little and any mud or dirt coming off to show motion. 600-800 Shutter speed if I remember correct should do the trick. This will also get rid of the look like the bike is pasted into the shot.


    Have fun! It is a fun sport to shot. I can't wait to get back out and do somemore myself.

    Cool photo, but flash is too obvious.
