Okay so I am going to retry this since i got advice on how to upload properly. Thanks yall

anyways on to the shots, I shot my buddies gsxr600 sportbike one random night and this is what i got from the shoot. I'm starting to get the hang of my dslr pretty decent I think, but I am always looking to improve especially since soon i'll be upgrading to a new body.

I think the 2nd one is a little busy. I would crop out the extraneous parts, while still using the planters as a frame, and lighten the motorcycle a tad.
Here's my take (1 cent's worth)
(PS: I don't usually manipulate my photos beyond just the basics so excuse my poor attempt at lightening the bike)
