This was a chance for me to experiment with lighting out doors on a mountain bike course. It was great fun and quite educational. Either my finger was slow to react or the camera has more delay than I expected. Normally, I have the ability to anticipate a little before shooting but things moved faster coming toward me in changing light.(These are the excuses that I have been thinking about). Most of the shots worked fairly well but I was still frustrated. This shot is with a Nikon D810 at ISO 4000 at 1/320 f 16 using a Nikor 80--200 2.8.
Took the shot to B/W but not happy with it. What do you think?

Agree as per the B&W. I won't be so presumptuous as to prescribe a solution, but to some how pull the rider out of the foliage would give it that dimension of action.

Did you take any with a slower shutter to get some blur motion in the spokes?

Great images!!!
A slower shutter speed would have blurred the spokes in the wheel giving more sense of motion.

It is my belief that the flash stopped the spokes. I shot several at slower with same results. I do understand what you are suggesting and absolutely agree that there needs to be some movement. Thanks for the comment.
