Ok one more for critique and I will rest for awhile. I don't want to abuse the hospitality. In this one, I really see little to criticize. But that is why I have you. I really do want other opinions so I can improve.

This was a bit of serendipity, because with tone mapping I can NEVER tell when it will work and when it will be a disaster. Now honestly I did have a good feeling about this shot...

I think so far with the tone mapping you've done a much better job than anything I've personally tried and a better job than a large majority of people who try it. That said, this is a nice "ending" shot. We got the shot of two bikes together, one bike conquering the hillside, and the after ride meal. Without seeing and participating in the discussion about the other two, this would just be a snap shot suitable for an eternal rest on the external hard drive.

PS, I'm really blunt, sorry in advance.

No problem. I want your opinion. To me it is very pretty, and my vulgar eye is easily distracted.
