Technically crap but;

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 like the feel of it.

This was taken last Monday while I was working on a training course at Lakeside Raceway, the boss was doing some corner demos on entry to the 'bus stop' and having a play on the way out. I only got three attempts to grab this shot and managed to get my settings wrong as I did not have my reading glasses with me. This shot, out of the three bursts, is the only one where the focus was reasonable. The boss liked it so he now ha a new screen saver.

Feel free to give any thoughts.

There are a couple of things wrong here, shutter and exposure jump out, however these negatives are outweighed by the fact that its a sh$t-hot composition and superb timing. A prime example demonstrating its more important to get teh actual shot then nothing at all.

2 thumbs up from me.

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

I agree with the above. I think that the fact that is
an action photograph helps you to get away with
the lack of sharpness and looks even more natural
to the eye.

Thanks guys. The man behind the handlebars likes it, so I suppose that is the main thing.
