Hi, Roger -
Love her tough expression behind the helmet and glasses. Fine sharp details of the rider and bike, great bokeh. Well composed with the bike and rider forming a rough "L" along the left and bottom of the frame. Sounds like a great event. Nice image.

Hi Roger,

That's one bad and I imagine expensive bike she's riding. The B&W treatment and DOF are great here. The contrasts are impressive, TFS.

Best regards,
Werner

Hi Roger,
Great look of the biker and her Chopper.
love the way she hold the handle and look at the camera.
The BW tone and the detail are great. the DoF really works on isolating the subject.
Great work.

Hi Roger,
You were at Oslo, like Obelix in the magic potion!
Many bikes and good opportunities to take photos. This one is excellent. The contrast is strong enhancing the determined pose of your model. You kept the focus on her. Excellent DOF, brightness on the chrome and blurred BG. Bravo! Annie

Nice job. The shallow field does work beautifully. A deeper field of focus would've been fine too - and still kept the background blurred - but I note your shutter speed, there wasn't a lot to play with, here.

Knowing how/where to crop a motorbike (and legs, for that matter) in order to avoid the shot being too wide can be quite a challenge, but I think you've done it very well, here. We get sufficient context of the motorbike and rider without any wasted space.

Hi Roger,
Nice silver reflections from the metal parts of the bike. Her posture/expressions fit the picture perfectly too. Great blurred background. The sky beghind her head looks a bit too bright, but it is a detail.
take care
Robert
