Nicely done and good use of DOF. I think there might be too much blur on the right hand side but aside from that, I love everything about it. the textures, colors, and emotive sense to it. Great work Alex.

Nice use of a good DOF. Perfect subject for this challenge. I really think it would have been better to not have the out of focus front part of the bike in the picture, but others probably like it. The blue against the rust brown is quite nice. Well done and congrats on the top 20!

Good piece of camera art. The DOF, the de-sat colour, the composition are all really good. Well done.

I really like this shot. The blue seat really stands out from the brown bike. I think it could be even better IMO if you took a little bit off the rh side and then also the top, so that some of the out of focus areas are there but less of them.

I like the blue against the other colors. You are really luky finding those kind of stuff. Nice POV. Perhaps it would be better if you had cut at the bottom and the right side

nice dof, but your perspective feels a little uncomfortable

Hi. I like the color and texture of the bike seat, but IMO the front bars are a little distracting.

Love the depth of field and the use of color.

Nice, I would have cropped the right hand out of focus stuff off, as it is now it's really distracting.
