Those Magnificent Men

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I shot these today at the Berwick show. Have I ever said how much I love the 70-200???? and who said a 5D is no good for fast moving action?

If you get a chance download one at full size and then check the detail say around the wheels.

Thank you for looking
Cheers, Bruce

Nice shots!

I think if you had of been shooting the riders either coming towards you or going away from you then you might have had a bit more trouble with the alleged slow AF.

first and last all the way - i would darken the sky a bit and adjust the WB (to remove some blue) and they would be stunners.. I love the space in the first image.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Nicely captured. As mentioned, side to side is fine but when a subject is going back and forth (e.g., a fashion runway) it's a different ballgame.

#4 I reckon as it gives context and scale. You need a little bit more space around the cycle and perhaps a bit more canvas to the right. Maybe go BW and see whether you can accentuate and make it a little bit more timeless.
