Hey guys just signed up for this website. Check out some of my work... I started shooting roughly Six months ago, and have been completely hooked!

Welcome to the community Gunnar! You've got some pretty good work here! I especially like the third and fourth ones! I was wondering if you were looking for some constructive criticism as well?

Yes sir! always room for improvement.

I really like #3!

Really like the processing on the third one. Welcome

Alright, well (not that the images are bad) since you asked for cc, here it is. The first one could be easily a 4 star photo had the bike and rider been a brighter color and you had moved to the right and down a but in your position, which would have isolated a subject of color against the sky. I do like the foreground bokeh however, and think that the proportion of person to rock to sky is perfect or nearly perfect to showcase both the athlete and the environnent.
The second one you have done a good job with the color and the isolation, but the composition is a bit lacking. I would try recomposing to make the subject a bit higher to show the drop and give him/her room to move into. I would also play around with the side to side composition and see what works. I also have very little concept of the steepness here, which is just something to keep in mind, it isn't necessarily a bad thing all the time.
The third one, as i said, is one of my favorites. The only nitpicking i have is that you could have composed slightly better so the leg and horizon between road and rock don't interrupt, but again that's being very nitpicky. Color is excellent and timing is perfect.
Fourth is great! I can see the jump, I can see the athlete, I can see the environnent, and i can see the thrill. He is also well isolated against the sky. Great job with this one!

Hope these help, always love helping people out and sharing ideas. Plus, i believe that peer criticism can sometimes help personal criticism as well.
Cheers,
Tyler

Some good looking shots for sure. I really like how you have the take off and landing in the shot for all the biking photos and the timing is excellent.
I can't help notice the dirt looks very bland. Perhaps it was the time of day or the post processing but the colours look very dull compared to all the other shots I have seen from that location.
I really do like the 3rd shot of the 360 flip in the middle of the road.

NICE
