    I really like this one. In addition to implying motion, the panning also really helps isolate the biker from the buildings and cars in the background, combined with the night time shot gives it a very nice air of mystery and dramatic tension. Very well done.

    Yes, good panning. Did you brighten his face in post? Doesn't matter, really; I'm just a little curious because the shadow on the street shows the light coming from behind him.

    Appreciate the input Folks, thanks

    Always nice seeing you comment Angelo, hey what happened to our Photo Walk ??

    Richard, believe me when I say if there had not been light on his face you would of never seen this one :D.
    There's a street Light in back and in front of subject, I panned till he was about in the middle of those and yes I did some selective brightening on his face.

    Nice, Ben. There's a delightful creepiness to this image. I'm not quite sure what it is, but I definitely feel it. Where's he going? What's he doing? Is he trying to outrace something? Time? Someone or something behind him? Death?
