Hi! I'm fairly new to photography with my D60 wich i bought last september. I'd like to know if anyone would change on this pic.

This has a lot of potential. To me, though, the angle of the sun in relation to the bikes causes some issues.

The rear of the bikes are in full sun, while most of the rest are in shadow. And, the reflection off the mirror is a bit of a distraction.

It might've helped to rotate the bikes about a quarter turn, so that the sun would (more or less) hit the bikes evenly. That might've also let you use a faster shutter, which in turn would've given a smaller aperture and larger DOF.

My 2 cents. Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks for your insight Chip. I'm sure that shot could have been better that way but when your a beginner like me , the only thing you think about is "wow! Those are nice!" Lol!!!
Now i try to take better pics but it's hard to find the right settings.

Thanks again!

Fun and frustrating at the same time? I know the feeling.

If you pay attention to the light - mainly the direction of the light - getting the settings correct becomes much easier. For outdoor shots, that often (but not always) means putting yourself more or less between the sun and your subject. It'll come, with practice.
