great shot!

that twig in the way bugs me, but of course it couldn't be helped since it's a quick paced shot.

Yes that kinda bummed me out, but do you think that it is possible to remove the twig completely or partially in post processing without it being too noticable?

That would be great! Would you like me to send you the original? (Or at least the large version after I messed wth colors and contrast)..

Good action shot! I like how the foreground is dark and there's sunlight in the back. Adds an interesting feel to it.


PS: It's spelled as mountain bike, not mointinbike. :)

Thanks, lol I know how it's spelled but I typed it too fast I guess lol. The background was really bight compares to the foreground (which obviously is in the shadow) so I used a fast shutterspeed to get the background exposed correctly and filled in the foreground with the flashgun.

A few decent ones, but I haven't really gone through all of them thoroughly yet, so I might upload some later...
