 Just kept my son's tricycle on a rack and shot from below with a backdrop of a clear sky.

Very minimal post processing
> Crop
> Slight Hue and Lightness adjustment
(to make the sky look dark blue instead of light blue)
in PhotoPlus 6.0 and
> Noise Median cut to smooth off the edges.

I like this shot. Simple, lots of emotion. I think the crop/composition and the noise kept if from scoring well. The missing portions of the tires, particularly the front, are akin to a portrait of a human cropped at a joint ;)

Here is a version with noise reduction and unsharp mask. In hindsight oversharpened it, given the image size, but you get the idea!

Kind of interesting, however, there is a lot of graininess to the background that takes away from it

Good pictogram, but blue is a very boring background.

the cropping of the botom of the bike kinda ruins this picture. its very creative and it looks like it took some thought but the cropping and the background color could have been changed to make this better

A good strong shadow/shilouette with a great fading background, but I can't see which way I'm looking at it from (ie underneath, 3/4 side etc)

Nice silhouette. Kind of plain for me. I like the background colour, but it is a bit noisy.

This looks like a tricycle but I'm not going to be picky because it's a great shot.

I wish you hadn't cut off the bottom of the bike.
