The bike had definitely just been used. Perhaps on a higher resolution you would be able to tell.

This shot makes me ask, "Why?" Nice contrast, but no apparent reason for the bike parked where it is, or the selective desat of all but orange. Plus, the tires look to clean for it to have been ridden recently. Maybe this is a gift, waiting to be discovered...

The selective desaturation works with this image.

I don't personally care for the selective colour here but it's a really good image in spite of that, well-composed, good exposure, nice focus.

One of the better selective desat examples I've seen. Great detail in the tyres. Love that.

The selective destat is rarely effective but over here it works.

I'm not normally a fan of selective desat, but I think it works really well here. Very nice product photo type shot.
