Good, slow pans can be tricky to shoot well. Marius not only nailed this Danny Hart at 1/40th of a second, but did so with not a whole lot of depth of field (f/2.5 is pretty shallow). Plus he was willing to commit to the motion blurred pan; some shooters are unwilling to try slowing it down because a poorly executed pan looks like crap and at the World Champs, you don't get very many chances to shoot the marquee riders. Compositionally, he's got good diagonals working to sell the shot. Danny's a little dead center, but that's a nit pick. Overall, this is a great race shot, more so for the difficulty of executing it properly.

Sebastian did a nice job here of pulling together some cool elements: motion, time and strobe work. A long exposure like this typically won't work for an action shot. But Sebastian added the element of a flash to freeze Jorn in the frame, while retaining the blur of the water and the softness of ambient lighting. Technically, Sebastian used just enough "kick" from his flash to get the job done--a lot of shooters would have overcooked the flash. Compositionally, he's got a couple nice diagonals to add a sense of movement, and he kicked the strobe at the place with the darkest background, allowing that pop of light freeze the action at just the right place to stand out well against the background. I like, too, how the blurred streak of the rider echoes the misty waterfall.

Cool shot of Bulldog coming out of the dust at Val di Sole. It almost looks like a Hollywood movie shot. Composition's not perfect--Brook's a little too much dead center--but his body angulation and focus sell the shot, and the clearest portion of the shot--his face--is tack sharp. Not an easy shot to get. Not by a long shot. I'd count myself lucky to have something like this in my portfolio.

Roger pretty much nailed the mood of epic riding. The trial's not particularly technical looking. There's no sick air. No tricks. Just a couple guys shredding a ridge line. In a SICK place. Compositionally, there's great balance to the shot with the ridgeline taking up just enough space near the bottom of the frame to anchor it and just enough scenery to give you a sense of remoteness mixed with that valley mist to impart a sense of scale. Additionally, he took advantage of the valley mist and backlit the riders against it, allowing them to "pop" a bit more. Total stunner.

Just another day at the Bike Ranch. This shot brings back memories of lazy summer afternoons boosting with your friends. The backlight dust and Kamloops in the distance, along with the cracked out whip, make this shot a keeper. The black and white treatment is a nice change from the usual Kamloops high desert blown-out look.

I like the mood and feel of this shot. I can feel the day. We've all been there--the cold misty day where you shiver on the ride up and shred the ride down. This shot doesn't have sick action, but it oozes soul. Compositionally, all the elements are there: some diagonals, good use of negative space, and moody lighting.

The black and white is the first thing that sticks out. What may have been a washed out, overcast day in color, all of a sudden comes alive with fantastic contrast against the trees. The tire tracks in the dirt draw your eye right down the line and up to the rider, who's nicely framed by the tree on the right.

This is mountain biking. An epic day riding trails with your buddy with views that make your jaw drop. The light's firing, the colors are popping and it screams get off of your computer and come and ride your bike. Now.

Adrian has more talent than you can shake a stick at. He loves to work the natural light and nailed it in the springs on this one. The trail draws you into the shot, you can imagine yourself about to slide up the berm in the distance as you weave your way through the trees on what looks to be perfect hero dirt. The treatment in post almost makes the shot seem dreamlike and ethereal. If a shot makes you want to ride, then the photographer has succeeded.

It's a simple dirtjump shot, but the worm's eye angle and the perfectly framed rider in the blades of grass gives this shot a completely different look. The jumps seem colossal. Creativity goes a long way, and this one speaks volumes for what thinking outside of the box can do for your images.
