Great shot. The only improvement might be a little motion blur. It is sharp, tight, and well exposed. I gave it an 8.

I like it a lot. I wish there were just a touch more negative space, but perhaps that wasn't an option.

Classic shot. Nice but lacking 'wow' factor. Faster shutter speed would have frozen the wheel which may have made every aspect of the main subject sharp.

Crop too close to get lone rider feeling, otherwise it's an OK photo. Some purple fringing due to your lens...

simple and clear shot, but I am not sure what's the theme of the picture. I would put his shadow in the the frame to indicate the burning sun on a hot day of bike riding, they work hard, don't they?
