Default Well Worn Motorcycle

This is how it came outta the camera. Was a sunny day unfortunately.

This was after a tighter cropping, curve adjustment and a WoW Photo Preset in Lightroom...

There's plenty of character in that old bike. Nice work in capturing it.

WOW, when I saw the first shot out of the camera I thought " some of that background and lighting is distracting but nice bike, I then scrolled down and POW! Awesome representation of this marvelous machine. Great job, I love the color treatment and the crop, it brings out all this bike has to give.

Great Captures! Looks to be a WWII vintage Harley Davidson? Knucklehead? Probably 1946 or 1947? I like the 1st one best, but both are very well done.
Thanks for Sharing these
