Hi Paul, A wonderful action photo with the dust shooting up from the back of the bikes, the focus & light are both excellent under these conditions & I love the way you have the biker just coming into shot from the dust on the right, great composition, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Paul,
Very good sports shot... you've captured the action well... came out good considering the shutter was only 1/500. I like the dust as it gives the composition a good DOF. Well done ... tfs.

Olá Paul,
Poor camera! After this there's dust all over it ;-) Good dynamic shot with a nice effect from the dust. I actually like more the panning ones in WS, especially the couple. But all of them are very well succeeded with excellent croppings.
Cheers,
Ricardo

Paul,
A nice sport picture.
Only regret, I'd have preferred a panning, but this bike group is nice.
The 2 WS are good too.

Hi Paul,
Are three are excellent action shots; I would have difficulty choosing among them so thank you sharing all three. It this one I like the riders seen through the dust, tyhe clarity and sharpness of the two photos captured as the riders passed is excellent and not easy. HLJ, pat

Paul, that isn't necessarily the type of picture that atracts me, but I have to say that you did very well in this shot. The placement of all the cyclists is excelent and the dust really gives that feeling of high dynamics.

Paul, c'est l'ambiance course qui est très bien rendue ici avec les motos multicolores qui surgissent d'un nuage de poussière. Je verrais bien ce cliché dans un magazine spécialisé sur les motos. C'est du travail de professionnel !

Bonjour, mon ami Paul,
Voilà les nouveaux chevaliers des temps modernes, avec leur heaume, chevauchant les engins d'acier pétaradant, soulevant poussière sur leur passage ; parents, cachez, vos enfants ! ;o)
Très belles photographies d'un spectacle toujours étonnant.
Félicitations.
Amitiés.

Hi Paul

Nice comp and colors. Good capture of this event. I would suggest upping the contrast. Really separate the riders from the dust and get them poping out of it. I look forward to seeing more. Fun conditions to shoot in. Well done.

Hi Paul,

What a beautiful WS, the tandem riders gives a excellent demonstration, simple this is top class, certainly to the photographers with this wonderful shot.
Also this picture here is absolutely not bad, the dust care for the atmosphere, perhaps not excellent for your camera Paul! Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice day,
John.

You do like these 'dust shots' Paul, but you execute them well and this is particularly well composed - almost as if the riders were posing for you. I like the very natural colours and the way in which the riders fade away in the background dust. Cheers . . . David

Nice action shot, perfectly captured at such a long focal length. I like the way the dust partially obscures the bikers in the background.

Excellent capture of the bike riders, good action shot. I guess the dust blowing around adds a lot to the atmosphere.

Hi Paul!
A good range between your "Calm reflectioms" and this one. These ones are just pefect! Especialy the "Tandem couple" workshop. Remarcable clarity on all of them. Very good works.

Hello Paul! Now this is a very popular pastime in California with all our desert areas we have! You froze the action perfectly here so nice choice on the shutter. The biker in the lead is well positioned and the dusty add creates depth for the shot.

Well done!
