    Wet road ride.

    I took this while riding so it will be a little hard to re-do but I am always open to suggestions....

    Croped and rotated.

    Classic!

    Could use some PPing and perhaps some cropping, but it is an incredible shot!

    What do you think, a little off the bottom (remove all or almost all of the real front wheel)?

    Very cool shot MB1 :thumbsup: I would do some levels adjusting on the actual bike to tone it down a bit and maybe crop up from the bottom just enough to take his foot out of the shot.

    Excellent reflection. Nothing to add other than maybe what Xia said. Well done MB.

    Hard to say MB.. There seems a little excess blue area on the right but not sure how it would look w/o it. I like the real bike in there because it provides context, but I don't like how bright it is in comparison to the reflection. Not sure what to do about it though... I'd say go with a few expts that everyone else has and may suggest

    Re: Wet road ride.

    If I was cropping the bottom, I'd take it to the axle of the rear wheel, as that removes the clutter and gives you the two curves of wheel at the bottom and nothing else.

    These kind-of-shots throw me at first when I first look at them. Then it hits me..Wow great shot. You might try playing around with the crop. The only thing I find distracting is the grass on the bottom left. Nice picture.

    Nice shooting - love the colours and the textures. I personally would leave it as because the grass makes you wonder.

    A little extra croping, a little rotation.

    I like the idea of croping some off the bottom so here we go.....
