Taken in shadow of bike. Sharpened and adjusted levels and contrast. Thanks for the top 50 finish. My past few entries were dissappointing but this renews my confidence!

The reflection of the second bike and lack of other distracting reflections is what made this one stand out to me. About the only thing I can offer to make the shot "better" is to try a little less sharpening. Good job!

Easy does it on the sharpening. This is a bit too much for my taste.

Great shot. Like the use of reflection in the chrome.

It looks like it has a film grain effect on it, which makes it look very classic.

Hum....good idea, clean chrome but perhaps a bit too much USM? Tone it down a bit and you'll have a great shot here.

Is the noise intentional? I love the reflecting bike...nice.

BAM! That was my first thought when I opened this because it just jumped out at me and made me want to look at and around it. There are a few other reflections similar but they do not compare at all. Nicely done, sorry the scale only goes to 10.

interesting but I can not tell if it is out of focus on purpose or by accident.

exposure unfortunately a little too hot, otherwise this deserves a 9

It seems a tad over sharpened but the composition is very nice.

This is a great idea. the amount of chrome is startling and the reflected harley is pretty cool. It seems as though there is an odd speckled pattern on some of the chrome areas. Not sure if it is pixelation or maybe a filter. Takes away some of the smoothness of the pic IMHO.

Yup! Chrome. Ya done good!

Nice idea and execution. Too bad it looks oversharpened to me, so much that the sharper curves have turned jagged. Great idea and capture, just too much processing.

photo is too busy....hard to see what is going on. Maybe if it was in colour it would have been easier to see what is what. Ether way I think it may have too much detail.
