    Part of one of my toys (MTB Content)

    I was going through some old pictures, and I found this one that I hadn't done anything with. I decided since I didn't really like it in color, I'd try black 7 white. Comments? Critiques? Thanks

    Great photo - I really like the composition! I'd like for the pedal and tire (are the spokes black?) to be darker so they stand out from the grass more. Maybe a little more contrast? It looks like a sweet bike. What is it?

    Thanks!

    The spokes are black, so I'll try a little more contrast. I did a quick convert to blk/white with a little contrast boosting, but the more I look at the picture, the more I plan on working on it more and putting it up in my living room The bike is an '04 Specialized Enduro Pro.

    I like this, but I agree about the contrast. The black spokes kinda disappear into the ground. Maybe this would be better if the ground where a little different, under the bike...something lighter. I really like the composition otherwise.

    Looks like you were climbing a monster hill. How'd you have the breath for a photo?
