Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

nice shot........ but could do with a lot more light on the bike, and a tad more light overall...... if you shot it in raw, a bit more processing to get a better result.......

Really nice shot Marty - cant guess the model - at first I was going to say RZ500, but then the frame looked like a converted MX'er, so I'm stumped....

I currently use a laptop, so my images seem much brighter than on other monitors. I have lightened this version.
Is there any improvement...??
And cc@t, its a RD250 with a few trick race parts, which makes it very very fast.....

much more detail in the bike and the background holds it's own, as we used to say the bike needs about another 1/2 stop lighter, you will still have the mood of your shot but a lot more detail in your subject........ I would have your laptop screen profiled......

Thanks Big Pix......
I am actually getting a Sony CRT monitor today to do my pp work.
I will get it calibrated, then hopefully my posts will be better.
Cheers
