This is an outstanding photograph. Firstly there’s the content; it’s fascinating. I had no idea that there was such a thing as organized scooter racing. Secondly the composition is perfect. Subject separation: the scooters are spaced out in such a way that no one scooter is blocking any other. And, the perspective is excellent. Lastly you’ve nailed focus and exposure. Well done!

All the best,
Mike

1970 Honda CB750... I had one just like that, same color. Bought it while recovering from a broken left ankle, strapped my crutches on with bungee cords and rigged up a rube goldberg device to connect the shift lever to my cast. Replacing my CB350 I was determined. Put a Vetter fairing on it painted to match. Several long trips and a lot of mileage over the next 9 years; fond memories.

Doug, it really makes my day when someone responds to one of my pictures with a personal story like yours.

Thank you very much!
