Hi Rob, looks like a cool place!  I think it needs an obvious focal point.

Jasenka, thank you for your comment!  This may be the wrong place for advice on this kind of shot as most of the shooters here have no motion or people and the shooter has tons of time to get everything just right before pressing the shutter.  Time for google.

Hi Steve and thanks for your comments! You got me to thinking, I think the place for me to get some ideas is to look at on line photos of cyclists and cycle races.

I’m hungry!

That was fun!  Thanks!

Robert, where is the quote from?  I love drinking the coconut milk from the shell with a straw and a little rum is nice too.

“If your pictures aren’t good enough your not close enough”  Comments please.

2nd attempt looks good!
