Bikes Adelaide day 6

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.

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.

Well done Deb, the best I got of Lance was a faint blur in the background. Where did you end up watching the race?

great shots Deb,I particularly like the 'haystack' shot,good composition and depth and great colours.........criterium shots are always difficult due to the speed/peloton sticking together,so you did a good job picking out Cadel/Lance.....

Hi Chica -
we were just across the uni footbridge and a little west , under a shady tree and shooting east down the track after a curve - check Daniels GPS for exact location.
Idelowen - a lot of luck involved ..every now and then the pack spread out a little for the sprints so it was a matter of knowing the shirt color and watching them turn the corner down the road and shooting many shots over several laps from a good spott
Also got the guy in the Ocre shirt just cant remember his name but think he was the winner

That's a good shot of Lance (yours. Tony's is a little small and grainy)
