...from Critique Club...

Oi Paulo, tudo bom por ai no Rio? Eu vou escrever em Ingles para todo o mundo perceber. Ta?

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Nice colours! :|

COMPOSITION:
Fairly nice, IMO. The only problem I have is with the guy on the far right being 'cut in half' :)

TECHNICAL:
Focus seems a bit soft on the foreground. I think a tighter aperture would have been nicer. Lighting seems even throughout, and works nicely here to show the uniform colours. :|

ARTISTIC:
Paulo, I think there were a lot more ways to shoot this 'crowd' of cyclist that would make for a more interesting shot. A slower shutter speed to capture them in motion, or pan to catch the background blurring. But this seems a bit too static of the 'motion' challenge. :(

OVERALL:
A fairly uninteresting photo that could have a lot of potential to really show motion.

Best of luck in the future. Don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions about this critique. Pode escrever em Portugues se quizer...eu sou de Lisboa mas vivo no Canada.

Ate a proxima...zadore.

beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!! get out of the darned road! bikers make me crazy when they drive on the road... but it fairness I can't trash your score simply because of the rudeness of bikers... lol... not too bad of a shot... maybe a crop so there's not a half-man right in the front of the shot

I think I would have liked the racer in the foreground to be in focus better. other than that it's a nice shot.

this would have been a great opportunity to pan and get a cyclist with a blurred background. looks like rio?

Nice image, but there's no real sense of motion. (The 'static motion' vs 'motion' dilemma is tricky as far as this challenge is concerned.
