Great timing! I wish the shadow on the second bike wasn't right on/under the flags, otehr than that this picture is sweet.

Very nice shot. Depth is good. Compsition is good. My son used to race these.

Right idea of a good old stanby subject. Quite a lot of blurr.

Great depth of view with noting too distracting in the background.

Nice timing and photo ... still some slight blurring .. it looks like you could use a smaller f-stop and increase your shutter speed, if it can go faster.

Good shot. Another idea would be to zoom as much as possible, if possible, on one of the bikes so the eye doesn't go back and forth.

great photo, not only 1 but 2!! Great 'stopped motion'! Wish bike #4 was as clear as #20 - one of my faves.

This is one of my favorites. I'm not a bmx fan, but you did a really good job of catching the action here. Who won?

Good focus. Can even see the individual spokes in the wheels! Nice photo.

lovely colours in this. I think I would have liked to see just one of the riders, or more DOF (but that's asking a lot from a tough shot in the first place). Still one of my faves

The wheels are hardly even blurry. Good work

Great shot, though the guys are a little blurry. A faster shutter speed would've fixed this.

Nice. good job getting close and keeping both in frame.

Nice shot. You nailed the exposure. I think it would have been even better shot from an angle to show a more appealling background. Maybe shooting up from below? Different part of the track? I know that race photographers intentionally use a fast enough shutter speed to stop the body, but fast enough to hint at the wheels turning, but for this particular challenge you may have wanted a higher shutter speed to stop the wheels also? Having said all of this, I still rated this photo very high. I appreciate how difficult this type of shot can be. My comments are meant t be constructive criticism. Please take them in that light, as I like the photo. Nice job.

wheels still spinning - good shot well composed but loses points for ot being stopped dead

This photo looks good enough to put in a sports magazine. Good job!

Bet they would like to have this on their wall!

This is nice! A slightly faster shutter speed would have frozen the tires and spokes a little better :)

Good compostion, just a little blurry.

Like that you have the shadows on the ground. Might have been stronger from a lower angle, to get them against the sky.
