i really like the lighting

trick is dope

ambient maybe a little strong

you can't see his face, and background is a little distracting but i liked this angle a bunch.

Nice shot, agreed the background is a little off putting though..

Yes, but it has the WOW factor needed to pull off a shot like this. Perhaps a burn of the background a little to highlight the rider more.

IMHO it looks like a PS cut and paste job. In fact you could almost do a nice cut and paste and place it in a new back ground. Which is a bad way of saying I like the lighting job you did :lol:

Great image. I wouldn't bother with the background too much, just clone the bit of the shopping troley out and leave it as is. Nice shot!

What Mal said.
You may wish to tone down the light on the rear wheel a tad as this draws my eye very quickly.
He is nicely separated from the background as Bindii said.
I like the background for this one. It adds something I can't quite place.
Bumber about face being covered.
Regards Colin

Great lighting, but as has been said, shame about the busy backdrop.
