Hello Carlos! I really like your combination with the bike moving in and the beauty of the park in the back as well as the long road that goes through the red stone. So much Moab actually. Tourism, adventure, nature ... I was there in June so it is a pleasure to see these things with eyes of others. Like it, really good. Best regards, happy weekend, Barbara.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for sharing this nice photo. You have used the slow shutter speed to click the shot, that is the main attraction of the photo. By this way rider is looking moving. Congrats.

A very "on the road" picture. Nice idea to keep the blurred motorbike

Tremenda foto, gran encuadre y composicion, perfecta perspectiva, perfecto "timing", impecable manejo de la luz, muy bellos colores! Felicidades!
