Thanks guys for the feedback

But i find the color (balance) abit weird, perhaps due to the cloudy N bright condition

Great shots!! except that the color is not brilliant, may need to tweak a little in PS. Maybe a shot with the foreground(ground) included would show the viewers just how high the bikers fly.
How far were you from the bikers?

Thanks for pointing out on the color I need to rework on it.

I was about 15 meters, for the position i was standing, if I included the ground, the esplanade would also be the bg, had a few shots but it did't work (over expose).

The bokeh on some of those pictures where the rider is sharp but the bike itself isn't, it looks pretty funky. It looks almost as if gaussian blur has been applied to it to artificially blur some elements in the frame.

Edit: I think I figured it out - it is an attempt to blur frozen wheels, but I don't think it works so well - you need to blur with radial or motion blur to get the desired effect. Good photoshop work is like good makeup on a woman's face; its not immediately noticeable, but it improves the overall image, especially if you compare the before and after shots.

Great shots, with clean background. Would have preferred if you could boost the colours of the bikers & bike.

Guilty as mention I actually use the brush (blur tool), it was a quick 5-10min thingy with the brush, should have left it as it is

Thanks for pointing out the flaws
