Congratulations on placing this well in your first challenge. I saw the color version of your photo and it is spectacular!! I suspect you would have done even better with that one. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Wish there were a bit more detail in the rider and bike but I do like the b/w tones in this image. Well done.

Incredible capture, definetely conveying power. I am not sure of the reason to show this in B&W, unless the biker and bike are predominantly black, I still would like to see it in full color. Also, using a fill flash may have improved the image further, assuming that you were using a wide angle lens and that you were not too far from the subject (8)

BW does nothing for this shot. ...well, other than make it different from the typical motocross freestyle air shot. :)
