My bike

[Mother Goose]

I played around in Photoshop with a few of the shots I've taken of my bike, and I wanted some C&C on them. Do you think it's too much work on them? Not enough? I'm new to working with photoshop, so I'd like some feedback, good or bad. Thanks all!

This is not me, but a shot I took @ a local track for one of the races that was out there that day.

Hey Chadwick,

Overall I like the shots, and in direct response to your post-processing, I think your bike came out very nice. Dark rich/smooth tones.

As someone who's taken WAY too many shots of my own bike, I'd personally like to see all of the front tire in the two pics where you just clipped it. It's like cutting off toes in people shots.


I'm guessing Mt Evans, CO? I'd have guessed Pikes peak, but I've not seen a critter up there.


Ride safe...

Thanks for the feedback. I thought I was getting it right, but I needed another opinion. I think I need a Photoshop for Dummies book, do they make those? :rofl

Randy, that is up Mt. Evans. I live in Arvada (just west of Denver), so Pikes Peak would be a haul for me, plus it's mostly dirt roads, and that's never fun. I'll try and get the whole front tire in next time, I guess I've never thought of it like cutting people's toes off, good analogy!
