I forgot to say, i hate the 3rd one. It just is really bad for some reason and i dont know why.... i think it might just be that there is to much flash

You're right about the flash, Duncan. It is too much. That's part of the reason I try to avoid using it, except when it's fill flash. I'm not sure why it was a bit much as the rider isn't particularly dark, and I took a few other similar pics without the flash being overdone. I still get confused by (supposed) fill-flash at times.

Anyway, I've replaced it now with a newer version, with the rider and foreground lightened, and the background brightened slightly. That should look better, although there will still be the shadow around the wheels. It'll be visible above with the old one now gone.
