Just testing Few pics

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.

Yes John a lot better - just one suggestion your copyright would look a lot better in one corner and smaller as it does interfer with the look of the pic IMO

John, the shots are great, but I agree with Chris about the copyright - smaller and in the corner would be better. Have you had problems with image theft before?

Thanks Chris and Greg, sorry i have put that there as the riders often come and pinch them, method in my madness is they email me for pics or a lot buy them so yeh, it's not what i normally do but all my bike pics are normally watermarked, for this reason. They only go on my site, onday i must get another host like smugmug or something as this is how they see some and then they email me for the pics.

sikx5 All i can say mate is have a play, i would try running in shutter mode but depends on conditions can be a pain, but yeh shutters between 125 and 160 if you want motion blur but if they are comming straight for you you can user a lot higher because it doesn't matter as you cant see the wheels anyhow to get the feel of motion. But have a play with a few different setting till you find 1 that you are happy with.
