Challenge: Cheater! (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S60
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
Date: Nov 16, 2005
Aperture: f 3.2
ISO: 50
Shutter: 1/800
Galleries: Cityscape, Transportation
Date Uploaded: Nov 20, 2005

 It's been a while since I've submitted anything. In fact, I haven't even taken many pictures lately. So I practically forgot how to use photoshop. I'm traveling in Southeast Asia at the moment, and I used a friend's Photoshop CS in Bangkok for this. I had no access to the tuturials I used on here back at home in Florida, so I forgot what the hell to do.

So this picture is not great, but it fits the challenge perfectly. Actually motorcycles on the sidewalks here are common, unlike the rest of the world. But it doesn't mean it's legal here. It's definitely cheating.

Had to look twice. I was focusing on the nice girl in the foreground!

This is an interesting study. It took me a moment to realize that the woman is not the subject.

by having such an attractive female in the foreground, she steals the attention away from your motocyclist, imo. great concept for this challenge!

Good idea, but this picture is more of a snapshot that a challenge entry.

That's a great illustration of Cheater. Refreshingly different from all the poker shots. Great job.

I just wonder if you were originally more interested in that thai lady boy`s ass rather than shooting the guy on his scooter... but anyways, the idea is nice.

The motorcycle isn't really drawing enough attention to itself for this to be entirely succesful. At first I thought "beat traffic by taking the bus." It's a good diea though.

Some faces and perhaps a narrower depth of field would have really helped this image. Interesting idea -- wonder if you were in the right place at the right time, or if you set it up?

Yeah, even faster on the sidewalk. lol

Nice catch! One objection is the lack of focus on the motorist. The girl is the object of the photo, the motorist that should be the object is secondary, and would have been ignored if not for the challenge. A different crop perhaps?
