Lovely effect and very soothing result. Due the overall shape and balance I'd prefer a tighter crop to the right and no amputation at the left if possible.

Lovely colours and a burst of spring. Great POV. Enjoy the lead-out curve but the blue is competing for attention.

Portrait of a Super Bike

Just for the record: When I read "bike" challenge I immediately thought motorbike. I was disappointed to see so few motorbikes. This however stands out in the quality stakes WD on superb light and processing. (yes Oliver is right but it's forgiveable)

I often have those thoughts especially when I see my true in the wild wildlife work (hours and days of patience) being deep 6'd by DNMC police and thus I connected with this :)

"Second, there will be DNMC storm troopers who will say, this isn’t a bike, it’s a motorcycle for Schwinn’s sake. To them I say, ‘balderdash!’ Not the first expletive that occurred to me, but I digress. This was a ‘Bikes’ challenge. We’ve had ‘Bicycles’ and ‘Bicycles II.’ This was ‘Bikes,’ not ‘Bicycles III.’ And this is clearly a hot sports bike – my sport bike to be specific. So get over it. Of course by the time you read this, it will be too late to get over it … so this paragraph is here solely to make DNMC police feel guilty and to entertain the rest of you."

Well said! I was entertained :)

Super a-typical bicycle shot. Effort well rewarded.

I always enjoy spring images and the pale pastels here are pretty. Highly unusual lens you used which appears to create a "wobbled" circle of confusion on the OOF leaves in the BG. f/2.8 is perhaps a bit shallow leaving only a very small percentage of the overall picture in focus.

Excellent action shot. Low and decent dof and BG

Thoroughly enjoyed this classic style of image but with your own signature. DPC needs more of this art and experimentation. Rewarded with an 8.
