Are you cropping your photos much? I ask this not because I dislike the crop, but many of your photos have a lot of depth of field. You shouldn't have this depth of field when shooting at 135mm. Some of the earlier photos from the bike race are nicely composed or cropped but the backgrounds are distracting and detract from the image. Maybe try a longer lens or a larger shooting aperture.

Hi Martin, I crop differently between pictures, some more than others. I would be happy to use a longer focal length lens if you give me one. Currently, my longest AF focal length is 135mm on that 24-135mm zoom. I use my 500mm Reflex Nikkor on some race days, but I chose not to bring it to my last two events. Given the 1.5x crop factor on my digital camera, my 135mm has a 202.5mm equivalent field of view. But I think the DOF is still equivalent to a 135mm.
