As you can see I used iso 3200. I couldn't get a high enough exposure without it. I used the noise filter in elements. What do you think?

Shay.nice action shot Shay.. great expression. The only nit I have is that to me it's out of focus right where it needs to be in focus.. looks like the focus might have hit on the top wheel rather than his face.. are you able to make him do it all again??:1drink

You're right. I might go again tomorrow and see what I can get. Thanks for the feedback.

very cool shot, what the heck are kids riding these days? :dunno

but I have to say....his face doesn't scream "excitement" or "adrenaline" to me, more like concentration. since you're at one of these parks, you could take advantage of a good wipeout, it's such an american thing to do after all, capitalizing on another's pain :rofl

I don't think I will enter it because his face is out of focus. You are right about the title, concentration would be a better title. It was a difficult shot to get. The lighting was non-existant. I don't have an external flash like a 580. If I had one I might have been able to use a lower iso. I was there for a while and not one wipeout. Typical:rofl

Thanks for the feedback,

Shay.

"Competitiveness" or "I want to win"

I think you nailed the expressions here! Both of them!

Great!

What do you think?
Kids have the greatest toys!

If you want critiques, I'd try bluring the background a little. For me, the other cars, etc. are distracting. I do like this shot though - great capture!!

Thanks for the feedback Brian. The background is distracting but blurring backgrounds in photoshop is beyond me. It was so funny, the cars were going about 2mph and the kids were so competitive:rofl

Haha I love this approach. Good stuff faerie!

Shay those kids are adorable. Its a great shot. I would focus on those expressions more though. No need for so much car room in my oppinion. Perhaps a wee-crop on the top and bottom to put a little more emphasis on the matchup.
