I'm not particular fond of the angle of the subject. It does however draw your eye into the photo and the photo has nice tones to it. excellent colors and good choice in DoF. Well done and good luck in this challenge.<7>

WOW - I couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning and looking through the photos I was 12th! My BEST yet!!! Thanks everyone.

It's the front wheel of my husband's Honda Valkrie - a very large touring bike. I had accidently flipped it to an indoor lighting mode but some of the better shots were unusable due to basic editing restraints.Again thanks everyone.
