Unusual angle, at first I have not understood what is it. Very dynamic and pleasing

Thanks Bob, it's a Triumph Speed Triple I also have a Tiger 1050 similar to your GS.

Great shot Michael, what bike is that?... certainly not a 'Hardley' Davison... ;-)

Not a fault here. I think the colors are great and really make the photo! Jim H.

Thank you all for the comments, very kind of you be complimentary. Nico that is the(rather loud) tail pipe of my motorcycle. The vapour is a PS "cheat" I airbrushed in some grey at a low opacity and flow.

I also considered a plain background but I thought the cloudy sky would add some drama and colour, which is something I'm quite fond of even maybe to a fault. It's colour I'm referring to not drama ;-)

Gorgeous! It's a very eye-grabbing image! Jim H.

From a cartoon! My thoughts exactly. You have to tell us a little bit more, Michael: What is that vehicle? Some type of motor-bike? How did you manage to get the vapour-like effect coming out of the exhaust... cool day with just the right temperatures and stuff for vapour to be visible? It is a really powerful image. Strong lines and eye-grabbing composition. If the original shot of the bike(?) had a nice clean background in its own right, I just wonder it that would not have been even better...? Super entry... and smack bang right on topic. Regards Nico

The date mix up was due to the background clouds being shot in December and the bike and processing in March.

Outstanding image Michael! Very well done. Did you mean to post this in Eligible? If the date is correct it's outside the time period for Eligible shots but is eminently qualified for Exhibition. -dtallakson
