Am liking the last two. The last but one is a cracker. Is it cropped at all?

The last one would work so much better if the oof biker on the left wasnt at such a weird angle.

What Joe said about the last one :)

I'm guessing here, but is it a PS composite? The track colour under the bike and through the wheels don't look right for the rest of the scene :thinking:

[Venomator]

The three white bikes are one and the same right ...?

:p

[Joe T]

Certainly looks that way!

Thanks for replying.... last composite image is 1 rider 2 bikes and 4 images, the white bike shots have been flipped horizontally to work against the main bike, they were taken at 3 slightly different positions on the same piece of track (Olivers Mount Scarborough, you can see the two joins if you look closely at the people in the spectator groups, it was a bugger getting the grass bank and fence lined up) - the main bike was enlarged and is on a different track all-together, cant remember where.

The third image - the image isn't cropped by much, but the bike was originally about a 1/3 of the size; I extracted it and enlarged it, and layered it on top of the the main pic which has been blurred. My personal faves are the visor and the signature - the original visor was clear with duck-tape across the bottom, so took the visor off of another shot and had to twist and re-shape it to fit this helmet; I got the rider to sign a piece of paper many times with different pens/felt-tips, scanned the paper, selected the best looking one and converted that to a brush shape, and one-click and its a signed image.

Cant take credit for the separate images, I was given them to make up a couple of pressies for the rider.

I recognise those people in the second one :D

Did the guy wth the mike sit underneath the toblerone style bit while the two riders bunny hopped over him?
And they did a dance style thing with pink tutus on when we saw them...Good riders :)

Most of the time they hopped over him, occasionally carefully dropping the back wheel onto him ... :)

Last one would be better if you lose the biker behind the front runner
