    Great job. You were down low which make them look more "epic". I really like your pan shots. The only nitpick is maybe at tighter crop and follow the rule of thirds on those pan shots. The mower is in the center of most of those shots. If you tighten the crop, and put the mower on one side of the pic and leave space for the mower to ride into, it may look better.

    You have great shots, but you also have waisted space. For instance, your second picture could be cropped much tighter around the mower and rider and it would make it more interesting.

    Actually this is the stock class and they are going about 18mph....This is one of my favorite shots of all time, I'm thinking about sending it to mpix and have it printed on a standout :D
