Daredevil rider exhibited differently!

Somewhat different -- am not sure what this portrays, but I kinda like! 😉 Would like the background completely black, but have not got there yet. Happened along the way, when I was in post-production.

Definitely different, and I definitely like the idea.

There is more space to the left than the right, and I am not sure the rider needs quite as much space on the left to ride into. Perhaps remove 25%-30% of the area between the front wheel and left edge of the frame? This might also further emphasise the streaking effect. But maybe you rather like and prefer the central position of the rider?

Nice concept, try using the levels adjustment tool and use the black color picker on the background, might work better if you do it on a layer.

You are getting more into graphic arts than photography with this image.

In addition to getting rid of some of the artifacts in the darker parts of the image, I would like to see the streaks brighten up a bit more too.

I really like this image. It gives me the impression that the rider is completing a jump and I rotated the subject just a bit to coincide with my feelings. The angle gives me more of an impression of motion. A bit of a crop seems to have been in order also.
I also darkened the background using Viveza and selecting a control point in the black and covering the entire frame. Then I selected the trailing grey streaks with a Viveza control point and lightened them. I finally added global contrast with Photoshop using image, corrections, contrast.

What do you think? I suspect since I am viewing this on a dark gray background that a border might be appropriate to delineate the edges of the image.
