I'm going to have to go with Trevor's "Swallowed by Nature" photo this week.'84 GS750EF (Oct 2015 BOM) '79 GS1000N (June 2007 BOM) My Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/soates50/

A slew of great photos again, with 5-6 that I think are really special. Tough choices.
trevor, the crashed bike is a hard won picture. Lots of emotion and story there...Although I don't know if nature was taking over, or the bike was crashing the gates....
Scott, (marvinsc), great to have you in the game. I really like your photo because your KLR's color and the house color work together.
I might have cropped out the right and the bottom, getting rid of a lot of the road and the sign. I may try it later.
Redman, you always sell your photos with a great story, or historical facts, this time was no different.
Jedz123, dang nice exposure under tricky conditions. Makes me feel that nature might win.
My vote will got to gustovh, however. I love the lighting in that shot. The direction and color are just great. Good eye seeing that.
The gold of the low sun reflecting on the bike, the matching colors on the old building. Very nice. I wish the sky wasn't blown out, but that could be fixed.Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

I struggled with this one. Jedz had the drama of nature nailed down firmly but my vote goes to Baatfam. The lighting through the trees and composition gave it the edge for me.....Old age and treachery will beat youth and skill every time1983 GS 750

MarvinSC, Again, Welcome to the game.
Please take this as encouragement. No offence meant by the following:

I thought about the same thing, and already had edited the pic. ALthough I was thinking that the road on the bottom added little and could have instead included more of the trees in the upper part of the frame.
I suppose the picture was taken more for abandoned-house-on-side-of-road, and is fine for that documentary purposes.
Had the picture been composed-framed more like this, my vote for this week would have been made up in sort order.http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg

Not so much with overgrowth, but with Erosion and gravity taking over, over powering civil engineering and structural strength.

And the votes are in!
I count 13 submissions, and 15 votes.
And I counted twice, at least, to arrive at the following:
One (1) vote each for marvinsc and Redman,
Two (2) votes each for gustovh and trevor,
Four (4) votes for runnerup Jedz,
and five (5) votes for this week's winner, Baatfam! This is Bob's fourth win this year.
Congrats, Bob, for your Triumphant shack-in-the-woods.

OK...I want to do a theme our northern friends could pull off, if the weather is bad....
I want to do something more artistic...something a little different.
Pick out your favorite bike and show us why you think it is beautiful.
Give us an interesting, artistic, or sales brochure shot. Think "Glamour Shot," or "Print Ad."
Close up and detailed, or the whole bike...let see what we can do.
Below are few examples I stole from this thread, at one of my photography forums....
Still have to figure out my entry....Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game
