Thanks very much, Dave, always a compromise with a watermark but will play about with it again.

Thanks very much, Fiona, nice to meet you and your other half too.

As for the lesser spotted Mike, hopefully that will be a PM job ;)

Thanks for that, Jonty everybody seems to like 5 so I had better fess-up :(

I was just a wee bit late with the shutter on this one and he was a wee bit closer than I expected!

Anyway, the original shot showed about 3/4 of the front wheel but his expression was worth saving, so I got the scissors out :D
 
Nice shots Mike...Do like some of the old classic bikes, like the rest I love #5 but am also drawn to the superb panning in #1 & the reflection in #7 great stuff:clap:

Aye, a very wet Nicola :D

 
Good set as usual Mike, but 5 stands out for me as it's a different perspective
 
One of the most enjoyable sets to look through I remember you posting Mike, and that's no detriment to the others, I just really like the eye contact and positioning in some of these, and I love the capture of the rain in 3 and I'm a sucker for an OOF tyre wall as per 2.
Good stuff!

Thanks, Bobby, as I said earlier, it was really a wee bit too close for me :D

Thanks very much, Matty, I think eye contact is the one thing that boosts a photo.

Now that it's summertime, there should be less tinted visors about ;)
