Something to try. Just post a few photos with minimum verbiage and see if they can stand up all on their own. I think you will find out they can.
This one does. The only improvement I could see is to have had guy in reds face in focus (focus seems to be somewhere between him and the guy going out of the frame in front of him). However, even as it stands it certainly catches the atmosphere of a bicycle race.

So, you may remember that on July 1st I was shooting a bike race here in Toronto, the Ontario Criterium Championships. I got back some 4x6 minilab prints, and posted a few of the more acceptable ones, which I already posted, so you don't have to look if you've already seen them:

Then, I got some blown up for friends of mine who were
in the race (not sales, just as gifts). The lab
accidentally printed one that I didn't ask for, in
fact one that I didn't even bother to scan from 4x6. They gave it to me for free, since they'd printed it
up by error. The more I looked at it, the more I
liked it.
Even though it's blurry as all get out, I think there's a vibrancy to it, a feeling of being in the middle of a nervous peloton, that maybe kind of captures road racing (not that I've ever raced... <g>):

You may like it, you may hate it; I'd love to hear your comments either way.
thanks, frank
