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.

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.

Very nice action pictures. I believe the best are one and three. It is a shame number two has one of the riders off the frame.

All looks fine from where I'm sitting.

Nice images, Dave. I'll hopefully start to look at mine from yesterday by Chewsday.

Thanks for the comments all - much appreciated.

Not sure what you mean by number two zafra? - Did the image fully load?

What I mean is that for some reason sometimes an image 800 pixels wide, and even 850 pixels, can display perfectly; while other times an image 800 pixels is displayed on my screen with an artificial cropping to the right of the picture.

At the time I made the comment, your second picture appeared with some of the red rider out of the frame and the pedestrian crossing the street of the picture (pedestrians) I put up, also out of the frame (but I did'nt realised then). The same cropping effect happened in my computer at work and the one at home. Today, thought, everything is fine I can see both pictures as they were intended. So disregard my comment - your second image is great and I wish I could take shots like yours.

I just coudn't make my posting display the pedestrian. I tried removing the picture and attaching it, refreshing the page, etc That is why I was wondering in my thread if there was a code to force the complete picture to be displayed. For example a 800 shown as 600 wide :?: :?: :?: :?: but today :up: :up: :up: It seems to have fixed itself , somehow.

Nice shots. #1 is my pick and #2 tells the story of the race between these two guys.

If you ride with the correct technique waving mid corner is easy. In fact I think getting quality shots like these is harder. :)
