 A teddy bear is a pretty common object. I saw this one strapped on the back of a big Harley Davidson Road King last week and it made me think a little... Most motorcycle riders are thought of as brash, harsh, badass, or whatever. I thought this little 'symbol' on the back of this motorcycle contradicted that theme a little and shows a minor light side to the stereotype...

Cute picture. I could just see a big poster of this hanging on the wall of a big, fat, bearded, beer bellied, tattooed, multiple piercing having, biker dude. lol - 8

Black and white work well here. Beautiful contrast and just enough DOF. The composition is a little cluttered and I'm not entirely sure how the title relates but overall a nice photo.

I like the black and white idea and the DOF but its hard to understand if the shot is of the bike or the bear. Overall I like the shot. A very artistic approach to this challenge. It also looks likt the picture could have been rotated a couple of degrees CW to straighten it out. <8>

 07/29/2004 01:19:25 PM
excellent sharpness and shadows/contrasts...

It would be nice to see this level with the horizon. But that's just me being picky. Good job.

What's the necessity? The hog or the bear? ;-)
Nice shot but maybe a little underexposed.

Two of my soft spots, a bike, and a teddybear. The reflection of the street light on the top-box is a little distracting, but otherise, neat...

great focus, dof, general clarity. really works well as a bw. just wish you had rotated it a degree or so to straighten it out...
