The Biker
by Norbert

Chicago Illinois

Harley Davidson Motorcycle Poem

There are newer and faster,
and sleeker and such,
but I don't care for that stuff that much.
I like what I like,
and I built what I ride,
with an old friend my Shovel,
that I still ride with pride

Sony F 828

other sizes: small medium large original auto

norbert, first of all, congratulations on entering the challenges, and i hope to see more from you. people shots are fun - you found a really cool character here. the pole, growing out of his head is a compositional no-no, and does detract from the quality of the image. also, the date & time stamp is distracting, i would suggest you turn it off, as your camera records the date and time in what's called the exif data, automatically appended to the 828 image file. finally, the file size for entry into the challenges should be 800pixels on the longest size, and save with a compression that aims for a file size of around 150kb. to end on a plus note, the color and exposure is quite nice! again, hope to see more from you. -- andy

Holds true for camera's as well. As the onslaught of DC's come out....this poem is quite fitting. Thx....great image.

Norbert, a fun portrait of biker and bike. I particulary enjoy the eye-level perspective with both biker and bike. Neat capture and verse. -Michael
