 2 vivitar 285HV's left and right at 1/2 power

i kept pushing the shutter speed lower and lower to bring out what ambient light i had to work with and as a result i got slight motion blur on the helmet but other than that its great.

curves, smart sharpen, topaz adjust photo pop, crop, resize

Greetings from the Critique Club!

The lighting is great, however I do agree with the comment that the background is a distracting. I like the bridge part but the fence and cars, although I guess there isn't really anything that can be done about that.

You mentioned the slight blur on the helmet, but honestly it's very minor and most people might not have noticed.

Not really sure what you could do to improve this, you stopped the motion wonderfully. By looking at your votes received you can see most of the votes you got were 6 and fell off from there. You had a good picture but just not enough to get the extremely high votes.

If you have any questions click here to message me!

Love the way you used the two off camera lights on the right and left. Great capture.

Action is good...would like to see more of the bike and less of the surrounding clutter (fence, walkway bridge, etc...)

Nice timing and a good capture overall. I might have cropped it a bit tighter to emphasize the rider.

A great use of lighting to stop the action while still preserving some interest in the background. I like the detail of the red shoelaces.
