cool pic

I like it because of its whimsy - both in subject and creation. The color scheme is funky, too. As usual my constructive critism is a day late a dollar short. Would have been nice to have her leaning more into the direction of travel, grinning like an idot, and have a more "coiled spring" pose. But it's still a lot 'o fun! The motion blur came out very well and I like how you embossed your sig into the background.

excellent render...

fantastic idea!!! love the motion blur as well, definitely gives you the feel of fast movement! Like arcas, i was thinking perhaps she could have been leaning a bit more forward - although quite frankly, I'd be hanging on for dear life if it was me and probably sprawled all over the 'bot trying to hang on! LOL. Great pic!!
willigooo
