 I know I'm going to get a lot of DNMC comments but that's okay. I had fun doing it and hope at least a few of you like it.
Did some editing in raw then after converting did a color balance, curves and levels. Curves was applied only to the sky via mask. resized and saved for web.

Post Challenge. Thank you PhotoInterest (publicly) for your comment and score. Your reaction was what I was hoping to get. Even getting the brown is okay by me because while some may have thought it was a bit of a stretch or too far out there I did it for the fun of it and knew the score wouldn't reflect the true beauty of the image or even the comedy of its entry into this particular challenge. It is true there are some men who are very wild and they really are thier own species. I'm just sorry more of you didn't enjoy it as much as PhotoInterest and I did.

Congrats on the brown! Display it proudly on your bio page! It was a humorous shot and for those who say that this didn't fit the challenge...they haven't met certain types of men, have they? ;)

As out of the box as I tend to go, I have to ding you on this one. Now if there was a bird perched on the handle bars, you'd be good to go. LOL! (Just for the record, I don't give out 1's for dnmc). Nice bike too!

""wildlife" should be considered non-domesticated mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians living in a natural environment"

Sorry... I don' think this meets the challenge... although it is funny! :)

Not voting, just commenting. I have got to hand it to you. You took a real risk of scoring the worst possible score on a nice image, simply because of where you put it. Good luck.
