Mountain bikers.
Fancy a trip on the mountain bike? Both the recreational and the sporty mountain biker will be in their element in our nature reserves.

I hope that you enjoy it

Hello John,
This was taken one month later than today. Soon you may be able to go out to look for a similar photo. Once again you have made good use of standing to the side and capturing the view on a diagonal. The long lines of cyclists and trees give the photo fine depth but no doubt it's the orange and brown leaves on the ground that make the greatest impression. It seems to have been a beautiful day which blessed you with a perfect light.
Kind regards,
Gert

Dear John,
I like how you blurred them slightly with the relatively long shutter-speed.
Best Wishes,

Hi John
hard to keep everything in focus as they bikers are moving fast, but the overall scene is very attractive with the lighting and contrast settings. Then of course you have the autumn colours popping. glad you gave a lot of the frame to the leaves on the ground. cheers

Hi John,
You have captured well the action of the mountain bikers. The point of view is showing the details of the leaves and of the trees. The light is giving good rendering of the colors. Have a nice day.

Hallo John, the mountain bikes allow to discover places off the beaten tracks. The pov creates a good depth. The dead leaves on the soil symbolize the autumn season in the forest, they are very aesthetic. Fine colors, good image quality, instructive photo note, regards.

Hello, John!
This reddish carpet formed by the dry leaves looks beautiful, and the cyclists give much more life, dynamism and interest to the scene! Very good colors and sharpness! Wonderful job!

Hallo John,
Een foto met prachtige kleuren, de herfstbladeren hadden hier al een heel mooi tapijt van herfstkleuren gemaakt. Uitstekende timing door de twee mountainbikers in de voorgrond te hebben.

Bonjour, cher ami John,
Entendre craquer les feuilles sous les roues de la bicyclette et traverser les bois aux arbres défeuillés, cela possède un charme certain.
Amitiés.

Hi John
I love your diagonal approach. This just leaps off the screen full of vibrancy along with carpets of golden leaves and the cyclists lend a real boost to the autumnal landscape. The temptation is hard to resist that you made it looks so attractive. Excellent shot, Congrats
Best regards

Hi John,
great sport photography. The bikers add so much color and feeling of action to the scene.
The natural setting is so colorful!
Autumn at its best! There are so many colorful leaves on the ground already. The background is pleasantly blurred to emphasize the bikers,
Great capture. I think I may show a biker in my next photo as well but not sure if I manage today, may be tomorrow,

Beautiful colors John. You found fall in 2015 and it is everywhere. Looks like a very nice day for a ride. And a nice day for this photo. Well done
I just passed 3000 points a milestone for me. At this rate it will take me 94 years to catch up with you !!! In my 70's now not likely possible - and far less people posting and reviewing. Perhaps 194 years is a better estimate. However I am honored to be part of this family and glad we can and do encourage each other. Like you, there are those with great talent, and kindness in there hearts to share it with us.

Ciao John
qui siamo in novembre, ma non manca molto per vedere di nuovo questi "pavimenti" dai bellissimi colori naturali.
Bella foto, i ciclisti danno colore e animano la scena.
Saluti

Hello John, such a colourful scene.
I like the point of view where we can see more cyclists coming along the path.
The cyclists seem to be enjoying their ride. They stand out with their contrasting coloured clothes.
Regards Jean.

Hello John,
Nice main entry, bikers (all 5 of them) taken from a good angle with a lovely carpet of red leaves. I like the WS photo much better, your panning skill brought out the moting very well. It is a superb photo. 👏
Regards,

Dag John Your picture is the perfect example of the Bokeh effect, sought after in art photography: Since you used the widest aperture on your lens, only the central zone (on the first cyclist) is 'tak sharp' while the remaining gets gradually more blurred towards the picture corners. This intentional effect put emphasis on the main subject while suggesting only the environmental decor to set the context. I know this fact only since I bought my new toy. Heel mooi fotowerk. Groeten

Dear John,
This is a very refreshing picture of the mountain bikers in the autumn forest ! They are obviously enjoying it, but I wouldn’t. A bit too rough for my taste :-)
But you took a nice picture ! Wonderful colours.
*TFS and kind regards.
