#11. The only thing that could have made it better is some smoke from the tyres and an indication that the bike had come through that hole in the fence...

[oldguy]

15 for me, can't fault it, sharp bright colors, no distractions in the background/foreground

[mikeey01]

11 and 13 are the best shots. mmm hard choice

[Skyryder]

Picture 13 by far.

Pic 11...Silent yet menacing.

[EJK]

#11 is good too. But I like the black and white of #13.

:doh:Bugger,forgot to submit mine,been having puter problems,anyways great pics.

[Kiwi Graham]

Mmmm moody, nice. No 11 for me

[Marknz]

11 for me too. Is it just me, or should images that have been altered in someway with software not be up for judging? Maybe I'm just a bit old fashioned...

Are you referring specifically to pic 11? I know there's a pic in the other voting thread that's obviously been modified.

Pic 11 - Great angle for the bike. Good use of natural lighting. Nice diagonals in the composition

Pic 13 - The best shot. Would make a great product shot. Just needs a little tweaking with levels to make the shot pop but it's by far the best IMO. Tells a story.

Pic 15 - Great action shot. Great having the other rumble strip in the background so you get a feel of where the rider has come from. Technically speaking is the best shot in the bunch. Could use a wider aperture to reduce the DoF to make the rider pop.

I agree (but I would being married to the photographer) take a look at a higher resolution version. http://www.flickr.com/photos/31744525@N07/3556487102/sizes/l/

The question says coolest photo, not best shot.

IMO - Coolest photo is No.11. There are many better shots.

I wouldnt say natural lighting :shifty:

Floodlight high up on the left behind me.

SV with the lights on high beam to my right to bring out more detail in the front of the RSV.

Improvisation. :eek:

Theres another one using the SV for secondary lighting as my profile pic.

[discotex]

I wouldnt say natural lighting :shifty:


Haha totally. I meant to say available light rather than natural (as in the sun). The point being it didn't look like someone spend 4 hours in photoshop playing with the colours to get that shot.

Love it :) Still crystal sharp. Interesting taking a look at the exif data. Must have been a bloody bright day so he wouldn't have been able to get a wider aperture without using a neutral density filter (http://www.adidap.com/2008/02/15/neutral-density-filters-what-are-they-when-to-use-them/). That's assuming the lens can go lower anyway.

Don't know anything about photography's finer details so I'll just go with what I like.....and that would be No 15 and 13 as runner up, a bit more light from the front and it would be my winner but well done all, a pleasure to peruse.:clap:
