the choice of sepia, the dirt and grime, the handle bar and the helmet and name plate - all well seen and composed

A portrait without the person. Excellent. The textures go well with the sepia tones.

It's not just the vintage items of this photo, but everything about this that gives the feeling of yesteryears. Nicely done!

nice image i like the tone you used had it been just B&W i dont think it would have had the same effect

Interesting details, and because they're interesting it does make me want to see more of the shot. I can't say for sure if that's a good or bad thing, I imagine this shot would work very well as a series with other details and ultimately the whole bike.

The old worn dirty look is cool.

This is an intriguing still life shot...the subject matter, the editing the wonderful sepia tone...everything goes wel together. What strikes me most is the positioning of the helmut, facing towards the camera....I can almost see someone in it. Nicely done!

A nice shot telling an age old story. handle bar cropped a bit tight for me and move the space in from left and have less of tank
