Here's an action photo for a change of pace. There was an afternoon buildup of cumulus clouds which enhanced the background. Cropped to about 75% of the original to get the rider off center. Taken with a Nikon D4s, 24-120 lens, f/11, 1/400 and ISO 280. C&C welcome. Richard

Nice action image. Great sky for the background, too.

Great timing Richard. I really like the sky as a backdrop.

We don't get all that many action shots here. This is very good! The strong background is a plus, in my opinion, in that it holds the eye in the picture without distracting from the subject.

I agree with Harley's comments. I am on the fence with the large bush at the bottom of the frame. I would also like to see the background landscape a tad sharper. Nice image.

Hi folks and thanks for the comments. Preston-no way to get a sharp background as I was panning. Richard
