The energy and movement in Warp Speed is my pick. To my taste it is much better than the others because it is more dynamic and energetic.

Regards,

Peter

I think #4 is my favorite. She looks so cute with that pink outfit and blond curls trailing out the back of her helmet.

For me, 6 is a clear winner. The only concern there is some people are not crazy for selective color (i think it's just fine ) =c)

#3 warp speed is my favorite

I like the dynamics and wide aspect

Flyinggina · August 16, 2007

FWIW, I love #6.

Okay, so it looks like I'm alone on this one, but I really like #1. I like the way the sun is hitting him and the track and I like that the racers in the back are visible and balanced but not distracting.

Oh the girl one, of course!

Tentacion · August 17, 2007

Don't know how talented you would consider me..but I'll say...I like
1 and 4

Like the intensity of 1, the struggle it seems for him to stay ahead of all the other bikers in the back, and he is way ahead...I like the detail, texture and curvature of the slope, and that look of determination in his face, I also like how the lighting just hits him in the right way enhancing even more that determined feel. Also how you blurred all the other bikers in the b/g and made him your main focal point.

Number 4 I like (of course) for obvious reasons...the GENDER Fight of Eternity..."If boys can do it, Girls can do it better".... although, I like the pink helmut and the blonde curls, I wish, I could see the determination in her face such as in number 1.

They are all fabulous shots, but these two are my favs...

GOOD LUCK in WHICHEVER you CHOOSE....going to be a hard decision!!

Thanks for all of your input. I'm thinking that such a mixed vote is not a good sign so I guess it's back to the drawing board.
Thanks,
Steve

Could also be that they're all such good shots......

Then again, others are now sending you PMs asking to please don't get him started about "opinion variance..."

love #4.

"anything you can do i can do better...."

LiquidAir · August 17, 2007

My favorites of the set are 4 & 5.

Felicia · August 17, 2007

They're all so good, but I guess I'd have to go with #4. There's something humorous seeing such a little person all sported out with those blond curls peeking out. Then the sight of the boys behind her slightly out of focus finishes it off.

Tessa HD · August 17, 2007

i like #3!

PaulThomasMcKee · August 18, 2007

#4 4-me

saurora · August 18, 2007

I vote #4 as well....love the blonde curls mixed with the look of intensity!!! Don't mess with that little gal! I think all the shots are strong, and it's hard to pick just one. This one stands out the most for me and tells a more interesting story.

I like #6 also. Selective color is sometimes over done, but in this case I think it's a perfect application. It separates the subject from the crowd.

Nice job Steve.
