Style... Timeless

I like the idea of the photo. Composition works well. The only things really in focus are the 7 and the 6 which is a bit distracting. Greater depth of field would improve this I think. The silvery reflection of the 7 and the 6 (I am sure it really was silvery in this light) is a bit distracting. Maybe filtering the light would have toned down the silver.

I like the choice of colors and the contrast. Reflected light is powerful. I think a little more light from the left and possibly from behind the camera would have lightened the rest of the brand name a bit and possibly have improved it.

Nice colors and contrast. Good choice for placement of the horizon. This would be more compelling if the image were larger. As it is, I can't see enough of the detail.

Beautiful image. Composition is wonderful. Colors are good. DOF and contrast are good. Very nice image both visually and technically. Not sure what you're advertizing though.

Great concept and I really like the tag line in your title. Focus, contrast and DOF are all good. The thing I find that detracts a bit is the composition. Think about the rule of thirds and consider a different crop. Color seems just a bit flat. Perhaps shooting earlier or later in the day would have helped.

I like the composition but the overall image seems very dark. Focus looks a bit off but it could be lighting.

Composition is good. The image fills the frame nicely. And maybe it's my monitor but this seems too dark has has too little contrast. Great camera though!

The right half of the image is terrific. Great reflections. Great contrast. Great focus, DOF, and composition. But the left half of the image detracts. A different crop would have improved this dramatically.

Thanks for your comments and your votes. Now, as Paul Harvey would say, "for the rest of the story ..."

It was twilight at the Redmond Washington Velodrome. My son-in-law was racing this evening and invited us to come and watch. I had free access to all areas of the track and the infield. It was twilight and the track was lighted but it was still pretty dark. I didn̢۪t want to use a flash because I didn̢۪t want to distract the racers. So I set ISO on my D70 to 1600 and hoped for the best.

I had shot about 70 pictures from various places and decided to move to a point between the last curve and the finish line. Set. Focus. Here come the racers. And right in front of me a rider goes down. I̢۪m shooting as fast as I can! Two more riders go down.

And BAM! I̢۪m hit by a flying bike. As I get up. I see the front half of my lens rolling away from me in the grass. The bike also hit the front of my D70 and tore the kit lens in half . So this photo is the last of the evening for me. I spent the rest of the evening nursing my injuries and mourning the lens, in that order. The jury is still out on the camera until I can get to camera repair.
