I like to do Aviation Photography and at the sites I post pictures, the fence would get my photo's rejected for 'foreground clutter'. However, this isn't one of those sites. The fence does take away from the photo though but I understand it has to be there for your title to fit the picture. The action is stopped well but if it were me and I couldn't find an angle without the fence, I would have concentrated the crop to the rider above the fence line. Nice 'Roost' by the way!

in action shots, fences are a really bad thing. you should be trying to make me feel part of the action and the fence filling the bottom third of the frame detracts from that feeling.
