    Isn't it interesting how a photo can stimulate so many emotions at once. Awe at the storm clouds. Encouragement from the sun shine. Admiration for one of the most beautiful bikes ever produced that looks at speed even though parked.

    Great picture!

    Excellent idea, I wonder which would take longer...a real cleaning or a photoshop cleaning...

    I thought it was about great photos of bikes. Forgive me for not realizing that there is only one great photo of a bike, and that you already posted it.

    We could make this thread about great photos of bikes. Do we want to open the photos for critique? I have some ideas on how to improve the image you posted. It's a great subject matter that can be tricky to make remarkable.

    Some bikes. Some with motors, some without.
