Default Yellow Bike

I drive allot at work and get to see a few photo ops along the way, I don't like the background showing to the left, not a photo shop user, but if a print is made I may have to change my views on post photo manipulation

Too much in the frame. Just keep the yellow flowers.

I happen to love the contrasting colors on the right side. It pulls my eye around the shot to take it all in.

I don't think the photographer was shooting just the yellow flowers. I Think the bike is the subject and if you crop it you will lose the end of the log. I think the framing is just right. I like the mix of the yellow and pink as the background to the bike. Very nice shot.

^ your right, the bike was the subject, believe it or not what caught my eye was the old style kick stand and the seat. I left the log end to bring an end to it, and the purple to contrast the bright color of the bike and yellow flowers, so it would not be just a "Yellow" bike picture

I cropped it for the sake of seeing, and it looked bad


thanks for the comments
