I'm not sure what they were looking for on this. But if I knew I'd have a couple of ribbons already. This struck me as funny. I hope the voters are kind. I took it with a polarized filter. Usual PP adj levels, saturation colors and laid in a gaussian blur to background and USM to subject and burned and healed a little bit.

Great job keeping your eyes open for this one. I assume that is a real tattoo and not a stick on. Did he know you were taking this…if so I would have asked him to turn somewhere with a better background. This photo has big potential pretty much as is if the background were more appealing. There is a slight glare on his head…but you might not have had the time nor his patience to ask him to do anything else for this photo…and that’s if he even knows your shooting him. As I can see there is nothing to technical about this…sure you just snapped it off. The cool thing is the subject and that is well done by you for spotting it. I think you scored fairly well on it…man if that bike were totally in the frame you might have broke 6...in my book.

nice find. if you only could have swung to an angle that got the motorcycle more defined by itself in the background. currently i feel it hurts the composition, but in another location with those leather jackets, it could super strengthen the image for me.

Now, that's almost a face on this portrait, isn't it?? (just kidding). I like it!. . .Bue eeeee that must have hurt getting that tattoo.

Cool feel to the photo! I like the blurry bike in the background.

Darnit boy, would love to see the bike with him more.. Though this is sweet.. Gives the true meaning to "Eye's behind the head"
