That first one would be really engaging shot if you cropped it down to the top of the people's heads in the background, John. Similarly with the the 3rd shot, I think you need to crop closer to draw attention to the guy's little mirror. And the 4th I would crop down to the start of the grass in the background.
Nice series
Those two crops look much better to me, John
nice series
ilike second
Like your photos. Is the last one a mother/daughter pair? If you ride, please put RAGBRAI on your bucket list. A week long tour across Iowa and an endless opportunity for great pictures.
A very engaging series of photo's John and the cropped versions are my favourites.
Cheers, Greg
I agree with the crops, but all in all excellent shots!
