Nice one.. You could get away with desaturating the rest of a image a tad while keeping the green....

The skintones looked very red on my monitor so I opened the image in PhotoShop....and they looked perfect! A vast difference in the way 2 programs display colours.

Sharp, composed and colourful :) The cut-off front tire on the leader bugs me a bit, but that's just being picky :)

Great work. You have the bitumen under control, and terrific saturation in the riders' clothing.

I also think the DOF is just right for this shot.

What this picture missing, IMHO, is the sense of motion.

Much easier to do that from a side-on position. When you are taking shots from front-on like this, speed is harder to convey.

I'm guessing that would be because the only web browser that claims to understand colour management is Safari.

Interesting read and live comparison images here (found on google for 'browser color management')

Great sporting shot. As mentioned you have framed the image well leading the viewer from lead cyclist through to the rear of the peleton. Would make a lovely Magazine shot
cheers

thanks for all the comments.
I have also tried to high light the Green Jersey, maybe I have over done it.
