See, now this is more me I think I would go for a tighter crop taking in only the main headlamp and the (my) left indicator, cutting out the right indicator and the tank.. not sure why... hmmm nice chrome.

See i thought this might be more up your alley! I actually did have one cropped a bit tighter but I just had to throw this in real quick so you didnt go to sleep on me!

Ha, can I have a shot at it (keeping in mind i'm a post processing newbie!) s

[windrider86]

Of course!

[Sime]

I think i'd do something like this... (no laughing!)
Little bit of cropping, little bit of contrast (lightroom)

That looks great! I did soemthign very simliar to that that but its saved on a disk and I'm just to lazy tonight to hunt it down.

Love the bike would like to see th whole shot. I think the first shot is nice. Sime your version is a bit nicer framing only because there seems to be some empty space above and right of the tank either the ground or blurred seat or bags?
I think I would have cropped it just a touch right of the tank.
Okay after playing with the crops I was wrong....an even tighter crop of Sime is how I thought it wasmost interesting.
