The Bike racer

[Nikon boy]

Took this recently with my new D800e which compared to my D3s well......she is no speed demon but is adequate i feel

Taken at 70mm with Nikon 24-70 @ 125 iso and 1/500 sec processed in LR4

Nice timing on the image but the vignette is way too strong I feel

Lovely image. Has lots of visual impact and technically very nice. I agree that the vignette is far to strong. I don't know if the image has been cropped but I also find that the bikers head is too close to the top of the frame...but these are minor quibbles and it's a great shot.

It looks a bit over processed.

Good job on the capture Nikon Boy.

I'd just crop a little less, have a bit more room around the rider and ease off on the in vignette.

Those legs look like they have done some miles.

I think you have captured the image really well. The definition in his legs is outstanding. I just bought a new bike today and clearly I have some work to do.

All the best.

For my taste it looks better, more naturally rendered. I also like that you've added more space up top.
