Very clever. This is a fun shot as well as being clean and well lit.

Comment by idrifted:
really great subject. I see some sharpening halos around the high contrast areas so it was probably a little too much.

Positives:
Balance of image, both tonal and compositional, with the police car and biker, go together well and BW is a good choice for presentation. High contrast works given the implied tension between 'RAT' and the police. Unsure if the maltese crosses were setup for the image, but support the composition.

Technicals:
BW is generally done well. Overall, focus and composition are OK... not exceptional. Perspective from behind the biker is fine but is taken from a snapshot angle. Compositional balance would further benefit from another element, like a pedestrian eyeing the biker's intent from the curb on the left side of the frame. Images with snow are always hard because of brightness and loss of detail as is true in your case.

The challenge:
Meets the challenge well particular with the biker car interaction.

NIce shot. Very sharp and well composed. I like the processing. Reminds me of "Soylent Green." Nice furniture.

Good, well captured, maybe a little over whitened on the eye on the left?
