Traveller, I added noise to the bike image and applied some HDR toning to see what i could make out if it problem was also a post to the left of the bike which obscured the wheel.

I wish it were sharper but then I believe content and expression is more important but on reflection the HX100V is not one of the best cameras as I found time and time again .
This is, Thubleau, a most fabulous image (with the expressions of both the protagonists...). And it has exactly the kind of "loose symmetry" I imagined when I read Najinsky's explanation of what was expected for this challenge. Just great! (I only wonder, BTW, if just a tad more sharpening might still improve it?) db.
I Like this and your bike...excellent contrast in both...BTW, how did you do bike? I'd like to do something like this myself...love the colors. Midnight filter? Best Wishes, Traveller
