I spent the day volunteering and shooting photos at the Mid America Games. I was amazed at the determination and attitude of the kids with physical limitations. If only the pro's had their spirit.

I'm not sure that I like the crop. The biker's of the movement is obviously horizontal, so I'd have liked to see a less vertical composition. I like the tension created by him emerging from the side of the frame, but I believe that seeing a bit more of him would have made the image more interesting.
Classical composure technique says that you should space in the picture for a moving object to 'move into' which you've done, but you've also lopped off your subject.
If the person had looked up, and you used the full 640 pixel height allowed this would have been a great shot image.. As it is, only a 6 for me.
I like this but would have liked to see more of the wheelchair and rider..perhaps flipping it to landscape would have improved it..just an idea..good work..7
Face is way too dark, and is what should have been metered for. Not enough sense of speed... perhaps a much slower shutter speed and some panning? Light is too harsh, background too cluttered.
interesting crop i am sure you will get a million comments saying " wish I could see all of the model and or all of the wheels. this shot works for the challenge
Absolutely great shot - I just wish there was more of the cycler to see. It seems a bit abbreviated (the way you have cropped it) - I would have scored it higher if there were more of the subject visible... (8)
Very determined. If there is more of the picture, I'd try to get part of his other shoulder in the picture, I agree the whole thing would be too much, but a little more would be nice.
