    It's a very nice set, runmonty. I love your choice to get down low and shoot from that vantage point. I hope you don't mind me saying, and maybe it's just me, but I'm not a huge fan of the processing. They seem over saturated and lacking shadows.

    I dont mind you saying at all Iggy, if fact I really welcome it. I do want honest opinion (here and with each post).

    I was shooting at 11:30 on a sunny day and was dealing with quite a few shadows. I was taking the shadows out during the raw processing and perhaps went too far. I wanted to try to see faces, which was difficult under helmets.
    The 2nd shot was when I was playing around with a 3 shot HDR which would explain that one. Finally I set up a curves, vignette & frame recipe in color efex and, due to the large number of shots I took, processed most of them with this same recipe. I should have perhaps given them more individual attention. The last shot was an experiment with some heavier processing.

    Once again thank you - I do value and respect the opinions of the members of this forum, and use them as a learning tool.

    Oh, cool! Lucky teddy bear, getting to ride in the side car. I know what you mean about the shadows and trying to see the faces. I usually select just them and lighten them and mutter under my breath as I try to get them lightened just enough without looking weird. Did I mention I usually flunk? I could see it would be a nuisance to do a large number that way.

    Another vote for #'s 1, and 3 here. Not too overly cooked, and I guess I like the "Real bikes, real biker" look.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
