By all that's holy, I gotta win with this pic. The lighting is nice, the detail is clear, and the theme is sweet and the bike is HAWT!!!

Primus inter pares - first among equals.

8 x ~ $5.5k/RS125 + $9k/shiver = $53k MSRP

You're bitter b/c you dont have an entry this month.

[Sixxxxer]

It just got posted...And I could easily go out and take a picture to enter.

I honestly dont like the composotion of the picture...the Fade of the Bikes looks offset compared to the backdrop...and the sttempt to blend in the grass in the original pisture to make it look like snow is well, Weak.

I have an opinion on it thats all...i dont HATE It, I just dont like it all that much.

but then I guess... why post? :idk:


yeah the potoshop job could have been cleaner... but not many here are great with photoshop... and it's better than I could have done...


also I think the blend was good in the grass... you'd have to see the original to say it wasn't right... as to me it looks as the part your talking about is just in trampled snow.

[Sixxxxer]

Its the internet, why do we post anything??

Because we can.

Jesus sorry I said anything

[marko138]

This isn't a professional photography contest. Period. It's a contest on which picture evokes the most reaction and emotion from the voters. And this picture does that. The snow picture currently on the front page does that. Are either of them the greatest picture of all time? Of course not....but they get a reaction.

[Sixxxxer]

Aye Aye Captain

[Trip]

It's popularity, it's a general population vote, not a room full of artistic judges. Take your pics based on that.

Here's me at JGP Jan 3rd. Had to drive 12 hours each way to get there for only a day of riding. But it was worth it.

Nice pic.

Yeah, I saw that. I haven't examined the fairing yet since it's still in the 30s here and I just got this picture Wednesday.
