Hans, thanks for sharing with us the best bikers in this peloton. The first three are in focus in spite of your f/5.6 and the rest in the background are out of focus which is unavoidable. The espectators in the background complements the image.   Posted: 11/06/2024 21:59:13

Hans, I like the way the first three are in focus and the rest are blurred, making them less important in the image. I also like your shooting position looking straight down the track and keeping some separation between the leaders. I do wonder why the spectators at the front are looking away as though they are not interested in the bikers. Bruce   Posted: 11/07/2024 05:54:59

Hans, thanks for sharing the photo of the bikers. Great color and clarity and love the blur past the first three bikers given f/5.6 as Isaac shared. When I see the spectators, I do agree with Isaac as well that they complement the image. It seems they are so engaged they are looking for who's next further down the track.   Posted: 11/14/2024 01:04:25
