Track stand

I just recently attended the SYDBMA (Sydney Bike Messenger Association) Christmas party, where they have a hill climb race, track stand comp, BBQ, beer and fun.

I took this shot (along with others) of the track stand comp.

Its a good shot, however a wider f stop would have blurred those people in the background further enhancing the shot :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

It's nice, but there are too many people in the background distracting the main subject. Also I think the image is crop in too tight.

I think those suggestions are good points, but what I do like is the interesting pose of the rider and getting the shadow of the bike wheels in the photo. Nice use of pattern of light and shadow.

I agree with all the comments so far. Warring thoe when shooting a photo long gated ( which I'm assuming is what happen and not the cropping) You never use that method because you want to fit the subject in the screen. You only use that when the subject fits well and you want to give more depth and or allow for more background to be shown
