Mtb Lyfe (Mountain Biking Life)

Complete focus is on the rider and the detail is on point. The more you look - the more you see. The determination and focus of the rider is highlighted extremely well and having shot at FOD I know it can be quite dark there so the lighting is brilliant. Very worthy top ten image. WELL DONE

A very well timed shot - so much detail can be lost when trying to grab that "perfect shot" but you've managed to show the wondrous detail of the dusty loamness and the action packed feeling from this riders moment on track. The contrast between the rider and the dust flare is very appealing. WELL DONE.

A very well presented capture here - you've managed to get the rider in focus whilst theyre on the move, which is a tough job in itself sometimes. Especially if they're moving quicker than you anticipated and you're not wanting a motion blur. Nicely framed and focus is sharpe. WELL DONE.

Mountain biking isn't always about hitting the race track and huge jumps. Sometimes it's just about getting out and about, enjoying something you love or trying something new. I really like this shot, we have two riders seemingly battling it out. Perhaps they're a couple having a little mini race between themselves or the have just happened to meet on the track at this point. Either way, the photo tells a million stories and that makes it a brilliant capture. WELL DONE

Many other entires focused on the rider on their bike or racing - which in itself isn't wrong - but what I love about this shot and why it stood out is the simplicity of the shot and your willingness to do something different. The use of crop in framing is very appealing and truly captivating whilst not loosing any detail on the riders face. My only personal thought would of been to edit out the wheel to the left of the frame as it is a little distracting but this is purely personal choice. A very cleaver portrait which leaves the viewer wondering about the subjects day... has he just completed a huge race, did he just win and is taking it all in or is he simply relaxing. A perfect portrait. WELL DONE.
