Very cool shot!

Great, but would be even better if you cropped some off the bottom, IMO.

thanks friiskiwi you're right..

good capture, but this is more of a close up than a macro imo.

Great action shot, needs some 'noise reduction'..

would be great if the DOF was greater.

UNless you can get the label in focus, I would cut it out.

I purposefully wanted the label in the image out of focus, so that you knew they were Shimano bike gears and to show the depth of field. Thanks for your input though, most of this is new to me so your opinion matters anyway.

I tend to agree with Friiskiwi - just my humble opinion of course. I don't feel it's needed to convey the bike gears as the rest, including the bike chain are so nice and sharp. I think the majority of people would subconciously know what they are looking at by the detail that you have in. (plus, I tend to equate the Shimano brand with fishing reels than bikes )

Cropped the image as suggested.

Nice one - I must say that I do prefer the crop. - GL
