Cool shots, BW works really good for these.
B&W totally works for these shots as it gives the bikers a more tough feel. I'm a bit curious though about what's causing the halo around the biker in the second shot.
Very nice, the third one in particular. Oh, perhaps a tiny bit more space abvoe his head wouldn't go amiss, but it's a minor niggle.
@iguanasan That sort of haloing is often a side-effect of Topaz which would be my guess here. You can also see some evidence around the trees in the top right of the first picture.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
The haloing is due to it being a 3 image HDR being processed in hdr efex pro. I left it there as I kind of liked the effect giving seperation of his head from the sky. I did remove the halo from the tree but if you look closely you will see I didnt do a very good job. Out of interest in the 3rd shot I experimented with an infrared recipe from silver efex pro.
I know I am working with a lot of different effects but I like to try and experiment and learn as I go. Please bear with me.
