I had fun playing around with this one in photoshop.

Look forward to any comments or advice you may have.

@Still: Thanks mate. I tried to be discrete and not push it too much

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

Sorry I've not been about the last few days mate. Had alot on, you know what it's like living in Japan! Just checked back though and realized I missed your best ever posts! Stellar work, esp the sepia surfers one. Absolutely gorgeous.
You could sell this to a bike magazine mate! The PP is not distracting at all. You're on the up mate, thats for sure! Top work.....again!

@Stu: No worries mate. I know what it's like. I try to get around to everyones posts but getting difficult these days. When I do get a chance I do try and get around to everyones posts, in particular my regular visitors.
And speaking of on the up man, your image have been really surperb especially the ones with your new camera.

Daz - I love anything to do with bikes. Good shot and the Photoshop actions must have enhanced it as it looks great! I have a Harley Road King...

@Jerry: Thanks Jerry.
I decided to post another bike photo for you tomorrow mate. Nothing as nice as your bike though.

Your rhythm is excellent. And, I like how you have defined your subject with the negative space in the bacground. Excellent balance!

@Craiger: Thanks mate. The background PP was actually where I decided to finish the processing.

For me its a nice take but the lack of a larger focus point is making my eyes wobble a bit here Daz. Is it just me? But if I look at this too long, I get dizzy!

@Duncan Galbraith: Yeah mate it is a bit out of focus. I have another shot where they are better focused but the background was too distracting. So I played with this one in PS for some practice.
