Hi Dan... This is another great shot from this cycling event. In fact I will say this is a few notches above in quality over your last one. Superb DoF and colors. I love this one.

This is great. You have captured the concentration and effort on the riders face and the shallow depth of field isolates the fron rider perfectly.

Hi Dan, what a great shot. It's very sharp, a difficult feat given the speed. I always find shooting objects in motion very difficult. You also did a very nice job with DOF given both the relatively low aperture and long focal length lens.

Kindest regards, Don.

Fantastic shot man! Very well composed sports action shot. I like how you got the 2 trailing riders on either shoulder. Excellent DOF. Great colours. One suggestion: dodge his face so it isnt so dark.

Nice work buddy! Hey, how'd you brother do anyway?

Nicely presented image Daniel. Your composition is first rate, the DOF good, but subjects face requires small PP work -the brighter surroundings detract the eye from the cyclist.

Regards,

Vic, Singapore.
