The sepia coloring really gives an old world feel to this photo. Very nice Josh. #1381477Tomás Widow May 31, 2011
Hi Josh!Bob D. Hall May 31, 2011
Josh, here is what I see. You titled the photo Old Bike so the bike is the subject of the photo, yet the focus is soft on the bike and sharp on the tires. Also you clipped of part of the bike and that's not a good idea with it being the subject. The sepia is good here but a small amount of vignetting would help set the old photo mood.Josh Voyles May 31, 2011
Thanks everyone!Bob, I agree. Unfortunately, it was kind of a off the cuff shot. I walked pasted and almost didn't bother, but it looked interesting. I didn't really know what I wanted the image to be, so I guess I kind of compromised. #9437639

This is a very interesting idea. It caught my attention! I agree with some of Bob's comments. One thing I've learned (which I still have to make myself do) is that when you come upon a moment, make the best of it otherwise it will likely not come back! You could add the vignetting and crop the photo so you have just a portion of the bike showing then it will look more planned. #9437900Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
