I used one of these too. I don't know exactly what I'm looking at here, but besides that, it's a good shot. Plus, you got the whole band in the frame, which I failed to do :o)

Very nice photo. The yellow just stands out. Handle bar with the brake is a nice touch! Lighting, texture are quite nice, too. I used the band in Hope challenge.

this is an awesome picture... not sure that it's within the bounds of basic editing, tho.

It took me a while (couple of seconds instead of first glance) to see how that gold thingie related to the hand. After I figured out that it is the brake lever on a racing cycle and that the hand is positioned in the lower part of the handle bars it made a lot more sense to me. When I didn't see it, the shot didn't work for me and I would have given it a 6, but now that I do I'll give it an 8.
It would help if there was a bit more light on the connection between the handle and the lever as well as the fingers. Outside the basic rules challenge you could perhaps dodge it a bit..

love this! i keep meaning to get one of those bracelets but, alas, my old brain keeps forgetting. flecks of yellow in the hands but not much you can do about that within basic editing. good job!

great idea to bring out the yellow even more. I wish I'd have thought of this -- not sure what he's holding and not sure he even has to be holding anything for this shot to work -- good job!
