Steely Eyes

Took this photo of a very keen biker (motorbikes). Its the 2nd shoot i've done of this kind and have tried to make the images none cheesy posing by the side of the bike type of shots, and more a digital art kind of shot that would work well on a canvas or poster (or even just a facebook profile pic).

This is a very heavily edited pic so might not be to everyone's tastes, but feedback on the good and bad is always appreciated.

So does this work as digital art? And would you be happy if the person in the pic was you? Its all well and good creating an arty canvas shot, but it still needs to be personal to the subject who is a paying customer at the end of the day.

I dig this. I think it would work well on print promo materials.

Thank you

I like it too. Images like this may not appeal to the average joe, especially since he cant "see" himself, but to others it has a wide variety of applications.
