this is a good technical shot meeting the challenge.. his expression lives up to the title.. for me, less of the man and a bit more of the bike would have added to this, as the wheels would have given a stronger sense of speed.
I first gave you a 7 because I only had a 6, but I just can't sleep now. This is perfect. The motion panning is just a small part of this picture. The colors, the strength of a man, the determination. Perfect. Or are you that guy riding in a car. Ha Ha.
Good technique to get the face and hands in sharp focus while the legs continue to pound away. Also the strong lines and distinct colours in the background work well against the rider's clothing and his more rounded posture.
