Hit the Brakes

Photographed March while on Jim Neiger's and James Shadle's BAA approved "Best of Florida" workshop.

I wanted to emphasize the dynamic motion & applied a PS blurr effect.

Thank you for looking, and your suggestions are appreciated.

I like what you did with the blur in PS while keeping the head tac-sharp. Might boost saturation a little.

I like Doug's suggestion and would add to crop some from the bottom to accentuate the forward motion !!!! I like it a lot Brian !!! He looks like a Kamikaze !!!!

Hi Brian,
Above mentioned suggestions would help IMO. Not a huge fan of wing blur in most instances..........but i really like the way you applied it here!

Nice touch with the blur. You can feel the hard brake.

This is way cool. I wish that the BKGR were more blurred. I am moving this to Out of the Box/Post Processing... Sorry to be so late getting here!

Excellent! Great work on this image, Brian. I really like the composition, and the excitement of the motion blur!
