shot at dusk, wanted to have detail of bike in front and person oof in the background looking off into nice scenery with a nice sunset but sky was blah and not much around but trees...so opted for this instead. Wanted to still get a warmer light to make more moody, had to apply a colour balance adjustment layer to push it a bit more that way. Other than that and boosting the contrast a tiny bit those are the only adjustments made...and a bit of cropping.

At first glance I thought this didn't work. But I came back and took a closer look.

I think you've used the DOF well, and it's a nice treatment of the subject. Most motorcycle shots would have the bike in focus.

I agree with another commentor that maybe cropping a little off the right side would help in the composition but, it's already pretty nice.

Good work.

Wonderful shot. Should have scored higher...or am I biased?

The composition is not bad. I would have preferred that the person looked like he/she was actually dressed for going for a ride.
Very nice bokeh which make this a pleasing, sligthly above average shot.
