One Way To Beat Traffic

Comment:
The motorcycle isn't really drawing enough attention to itself for this to be entirely succesful. At first I thought "beat traffic by taking the bus." It's a good diea though.

Peak District Triptych

Congratulations on your ribbon! The base image is lovely. I have to say that I did not much care for the way the other two images were integrated into this; it feels less like a triptych than a photomontage to me. Obviously I'm in a minority there. Very nice work regardless.

I basically like him. I'd have to see the whole frame to advise on cropping/framing here. Certainly, given what we can see of wasp & silhouette in the posted image, it is framed up more or less optimally. I'm not thrilled with the head being right smack in the middle horizontally, but at least it is in the top 1/3 nicely. You can't crop any off here to move the head off center without losing wing or foot or some of the silhouette. It is possible the more image on the left and below might work a little better if that's an option.

I'd consider working with hue/sat to enhance the red component a little and pop the wasp off the BG a bit. If you look closely, you'll see an overall greenish tint creeping into the wasp itself. You basically have semi-complementary colors (greenish and reddish) if you work on defining them a bit.

Overall it's very nice. You've come a long ways.

Please include image data in the information field, lens/aperture/shutter speed etc.
