They are nice pictures it's just a shame that you've cropped them to tightly on the front wheel in my opinion.
Hi Richard
That is a deliberate crop on the front wheel to try and emphasise movement through the frame, when cropped centre they looked a bit static, but thanks for your comment, it may or may not have worked, lol.

I assume that you could lighten it up just a touch to get the shadow detail up to match No 2.
Don't like the crop on the front wheel either - a crop too far?

Panning is an art which improves with lots of practise and your practise is certainly paying off.

Standard cropping technique for moving objects is to leave a bit more space in front of the object than behind. It doesn't have to be much, just enough to make the object look like it has space to 'move into'. No more than a 3:2 ratio of 'space in front' to 'space behind', frequently less.
Of course if you do this your shots will look like everybody else's, which may not be what you're after.
Just think how much better these images might have been with modern high quality glassware.
Is that a GPS antenna on the back of the bike in #1 ? He's not on autopilot is he?
