Good timing in capturing the cyclist at a turn. The leaning posture is very dynamic.

The picture could use a little more contrast. Cropping is a little tight. I'd like to see it zoomed out a bit so there is more room, particularly to the front. I'd also think that a panning shot with the background in streak blur would be far better.

Nice action shot. The angle of the bike leaning into the corner is very dynamic and give a great feeling of speed. Nice and sharp while keeping the background blurred and unobtrusive. Excellent!

Good action shot Stephen. There's no hint of panning but your shutter speed was high enough to produce a sharp image apart from the motion blur of the tyres.

Even though this apparently wasn't panned the use of a wide aperture a rendered the BG satisfyingly OOF & unobtrusive.

Regards, Ian.
