I took this picture of my husbands bike. Recently back from Daytona Bike Week, he dreams of the day he can go to Sturgis.

I took the picture originally in color to capture all of the colors reflecting in the chrome.

In Editing, I changed it to B&W just to see what it would look like, and upon doing that, I realized the image was much better without all of the reflective colors bouncing off the chrome.

I like the idea. I like the BW. I can tell there is something in the background. Either make it show up or make it look like there is a completly black background. Otherwise it distracts from the image. Nice try.

the background is a little dirty, but it's hard without edditing.

Don't wait on a trip to Sturgis, it's the best. I've driven out there and back nine times from Oregon! My favorite vacation spot!! Serious forks, nice ride. Of course all bike shots score with me. Good luck in the challenge.
