Very beautiful photo, I thought of the same thing, but bike would not start, plus I dont have that kind of scenery. :)

The only thing I may have done is get a bit closer to the bike in the photo, but nice job.

a fill flash on the bike would have helped to bring it out of the shadows. Looks tiltled to right. I would have rotated a couple of degrees CCW. It's a beautiful lake. Love the deep blue color of the water.

scenery is great, the bike tho needs better lighting and less shadow on the ground.

The bike needs a little more lighting. Perhaps some fill in flash?

Try this shot again with less harsh lighting

Nice sceanery but unfortunatly the bike dosen't display well! Maybe its the sun on the wrong side. Nice try..

Needs to have the subject (bike) clear and focused.

Great shot, would have cropped out the tree, its a little distracting.

This image sells! Makes me want a Harley. Good job. A little work with levels, curves or saturation would have deepende the sky a bit and possibly improved this otherwise perfect image.

Good idea and very good spot for shooting. I have 3 nits, though: there should be someone on the bike, to make it look like more fun, the white part of the clouds is blown out and the horizon is quite tilted. Good composition and very interesting shot, nevertheless.

Not enough emphasis on the Harley. Maybe if you turned the bike in the other direction so it would be leaning away from you would have allowed more light to be on the bike and you could see more of the bike. One other thing that may have helped a little more is if you showed less of the road behind the bike.

The landscape seems to be the primary subject here.
07/07/2004 11:05:02 PM
i like the view. I dont like the crack in the road its distracting. Also, I think it looks too much like a snapshot. I think you could have done some really wonderful things with the beautiful machine. Maybe taken from a different angle???

Too bad the kick stand leans the bike so far to the left. Great shot of the setting. I'd like this better if the logo on the tank was readable.

Nice bike, nice background. A little stronger focus would help, but this is a very good ad photo. -8

Over priced POS, nice scenery though.

Should have moved bike closer to the other egde of the road. just how I see it. 9

I think the bike should be more prominent in this shot, perhaps propped up straigther as well. I have seen a large number of HD ads over the year, as my father is absolutely obsessed with those bikes, and they always place a great deal of emphasis on the bike and the shinyness of its chrome and paintjob.

It's a good concept, crisp and in focus. The background suits the 'open road' theme that HD owners like and want.

Beautiful horizon, however the bike seems to be secondary and being in the shadow does not attract attention.
