Great ones. #4 in particular.
IMHO. isn't DOF on #3 a bit shallow :dunno?

I love 'em. Nice composition. Good shutter to get some blur to indicate movement. Colors are very film-like (what was capture format?). Depth of field is perfect on three, putting the whole lead bike in focus but blurring the others. Exposures are right on--can be tricky 'cause the great expanses of dark track can create overexposures if not compensated. Some hate cloudy days, but overcast can prevent those harsh highlights and shadows, allow rich, dynamic colors, and give nice dream-like images.

Something about number one bothers me. Not sure what. Maybe the other bike is too far away and there's too much extraneous stuff in the background. Not too thrilled with the tone of the black and white, either.

The water droplets on the Ducati are cool.

The bikes all have nice paint jobs and are very clean. It always helps when they bring clean bikes to photograph!

Nice work. :thumb
