4 everytime for me! personal opinion would be to lose the sun in the top right corner but great shot all the same

Where's the version with the biker in colour and with a dramatic colour sky?
2 and 3 look too odd. 4 is okay except for the fake sun. So out of these four I like number 1 the best!
I'm not sure you'll get away with the reddish sunset sky as the shadows on the guy (under his helmet) look too much like they were cast by the noonday sun.
Cool shot btw, great clarity on the chap, and just enough motion in the front wheel.

Interesting post processing work. By an narrow margin I think my favourite is #2, its better without the sun flare of #3.

For me it has to be the original or possibly No.4 if the sun was removed. It's a strong enough image to start with and your (my!) eye is drawn to the rider. I don't think the artificial coloured sky background really adds anything, unless there was a specific reason for it?

Personally I prefer the first image. All the messing about with the background is just a distraction.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Number 4. but you need to sort out the obvious cutout effect on the mudguard and spokes to avoid giving the game away
2 and 3 are tacky and remind me of those hideous prints they sell in the lobby of tescos
Number 1 could probably be made the best with some work including grad filters in places
