Hi from the Critique Club, digichic,

I love the ray of light coming in from the upper-left corner! You've done a great job to fit the challenge using subject matter you like, which is always nice. I *love* the lighting on the frame of the bike -- especially the specular highlight in the middle. I think your choice to go monochrome was a good one, especially since all that wood in the background was probably dull and colourless.

Improvements? Perhaps a lower camera angle would have worked for you. People are always intrigued by different angles -- ones they don't see themselves every day. Less depth of field for a softer background might also have worked well here, although it appears that you were limited by your equipment in that case. Perhaps backing up and shooting with your other lens at 300mm wide open would create that effect.

Great job.

Geoff

I thought this was very good and I expected it to finish higher. I loved the stream of light coming in from the left.
