 Drove down to a Harley dealership today in hopes of getting a bikers portrait in his chrome. Got there just before closing and this was the sdcariest looking guy still around. Got off 5 or so shot sbefore he had to drive off. Any red you see in the shot happens to be my sweatshirt - pretty tough to stay out of the picture when you have so many angles going on.

I love those two words - Harley Davidson. The two "different" reflections are kind of interesting.

Thats funny about the red. I was wearing a red shirt and didnt think anything of it until I got home and pulled up the pic.

I really liked the fact you got the rider's reflection in this shot, and I liked the red - it added a nice spark to the overall blue of the picture. Nice work - again!

How did you do that? Reflection above has hands down, reflection below has hands up.

It looks really cool with the biker's reflection.

I really like the idea, but wish it were possible to better isolate the man as the subject (easy to do if this were advanced editing). The reason being, the image is a little busy and he gets lost to the more textured/contrasty parts of the bike.

Nicely executed. I like how you can see just enough of the man to show his "Harley Man" style. You probably could have cropped out the tank and still got a really nice image and would have avoided the slight distracting reflections there.
