  Thanks Gary. The builder of this bike was the rider. Real nice guy that I met at a beach on the Puget sound in Washington State.

  Congratulations on EP Dale. When I first saw this quickly I thought it was Jeff's photo. That angle of view is contagious! Take care and have a great weekend!

  Thanks Kristin.

Yes, Teresa. Went back each night after meeting you there. This was the next night. Will be doing an entire blog post on that area later.

  Dale, normally I'd give you grief about your horizon not being level, but I just can't. This is fantastic!

  this is a shot of every guy... green with envy!!! how's that peter I didn't say awesome...LOL congrats on the EP

the angle has nice leading lines with both shore lines, and the shadows add a nice touch, the bling on the headlight add a little interest. I think the shadow needs to be open up a little on the back half of the bike. looks like a nice evening at the beach. Hope you got a shot with the owner on it or near it.

  Dale --
I'm late to this one so about all I can say is"ditto.. I love the warm tones and the diagonal POV. I thought it might have been Jeff's at first glance.

  Congratulations on your EP! This is a great shot and I think only one thing would make it so much better! That would be seeing you sit on this bike and pose for the shot!!

  Love Love Love the angle you shot this at and am so pround that you stuck to it even though the horizon isn't level! I love how you got just the right position so the sun was an asset to this image instead of a distraction. I personally do not care for the bling on the headlight, but that's a matter of personal taste. I normally do like when you put the stars on, but the natural setting and warmth of the light here makes it not sit well with me. I also see some cyan around the wheels...not sure what that was from, but it's almost like a halo effect. Not trying to be picky, just want you to be aware of it! :~)

Thanks to you all for the cool comments, and thanks Jeff, for the compositional inspiration.

This image is pretty much straight out of camera, except that (as you'd expect) to side facing the camera was a bit dark so I had to open the shadows there a bit.

And Aimee, I agree, the bling could have been left out, but I was so happy with this shot, I wanted to celebrate. :o)

BTW, did get some shots with the owner/builder of this. Here are some samples.
