    Tough call....So many good photos.

    But I love the way Cowboy told his story with only a shadow....and a vanishing road....He gets my vote.

      Love Trevor's pic this week. He gets my vote. Also like marvinsc's a lot too, something about the color and tone really gives it a creepy mood (in a good way). I just needed to see something that's recognizable as part of a motorcycle, and no date stamp.

          I really loved mine because of that view every day but something about Bccap's hit me especially with how the road just zoomed by. I'll vote for Bccap's

            I'll go with BCCAP as well. Great shot or great something. Curious though, both hands are on the bars, photo is centred and low (chest mount GoPro?) and the mirrors are turned out?

            Edit: Just a guess but it's a frame from a tank mounted GoPro or equivalent and mirrors turns out to declutter the picture. Looks like a rolling shutter effect on the grass that sort of gives away.

                My guess is that the mirrors appear that way as a result of using a wide angle lens (in which case that is quite a curvy road).
                I was impressed with that photo for including both grips/hands (and both mirrors), which is a Bikers View but dont typically see in photographs.

                    I thought that at first too but the grips and hands aren't that distorted. OK Garth what did you do?

                        I have a limited amount of photos to choose from so I'm going to get a bit creative. I like to see where people live. So this week's theme is " Where You Live " Lots of latitude here... Your favorite restaurant , a building you like to stop at and enjoy, Something you like doing where you live. The ball is in the photographers court. I like to go hang out at this beach in the summer and relax and enjoy the view..... And Redman you are right ..... No manipulation of the picture of the mirrors.. Just a wide angle lens......

                            Good. Expect to see lots of different scenes.

                            Could joke about "latitude" of various places folks live.
