[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 3054, member: 654"] IMHO, and it is just my opinion. I like the concept of the shot. I like the cropping. The B&W serves the mood of the shot very well. It's a good sharp crisp exposure. I'm not a motorbike person but I can appreciate an impressive machine. This was a tough shot to get at night. Your comments indicate it was taken in a parking lot. What lighting did you use? Did you use your 50mm f/1.8 D lens with the parking lot lights? If that's the case your interpretation of a shot with extreme contrast with the B&W presentation was a good choice. I'm guessing about the lighting and lens, (not the first time I've made my self look dumb if I'm wrong), because it does not look like it was flash. If it was flash the background would be a lot darker. I went to your Gallery and looked at the same shot with a lot more detail than the small jpeg above. The only problem I have with it is the tonal range. The tonal range is a little too wide. I like the heavy contrast but IMO there needs to be a little more detail in both the highlights and shadows of the bike. The other way to have gone with this would to drop out a lot more detail in both the highlights and shadows and give the shot more of an outline effect, that would be cool. [/QUOTE]
