Interesting shot.
I would however be inclined to crop this to a panoramic format with the rider on a bottom third. Also the flare is a bit distracting and I would try and clone some or all of it out.
To me thats a far better shot. Its much more balanced as a panorama and the removal of some of the flare has concentrated the focus on the rider instead of the flare.
beautiful shot... stunning
awsome shot dude. downhill is on my list of places to get my camera to in the near future
Nice work mate - didn't get to see the original but the revised picture is grand. I'll be heading here myself while in Culdaff on a small break!
