Parallel

This is a shot of the right cylinder and head from my motorcycle. I thought it was interesting, you probably do not. That's OK, I'm not insulted.


Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens
Exposure 1/30 sec @ f2.8
ISO 800


So mikeshandssay suggests I crop this to strengthen the image and I did. He's dead on.

Thanks Mike!

Cool! What do you ride?

I _really_ like where the picture is going.

I think if you bring in the left crop about 25% it will become a stronger image

Dear Sir:

While bringing in the left crop could be perceived as an improvement, I would classify it as an "enhancement" of interpretation. To actually improve the subject, I recommend parking it in my driveway and allowing me to add some naturally accrued contrast.

I am open to a discussion on photographic lighting, as I have recently become something of an expert on illumination.

Dear Jack,

I shudder to think what "naturally accrued contrast" would consist of. Why would you be an expert in illumination? You have always claimed you do your best work in the dark? ;-)

Jack, you forgot that it's Mike that rides the Suzuki, not Wayne. BMWs don't require 'natural contrast'.

Also, Wayne the head is too clean. Stop polishing and ride. :)

(Really cool photo though)

Dear Matt,

I really don't clean my bike that much. I guess it doesn't get that dirty, I dunno.
