    Good week.
    Based on Number of entrys, and that 2/3rds of them in contention (in my opinion).
    With so many deserving shots, the tie-breakers come down to minor details (of my opinion), like front wheel turned in odd/distracting direction or bike pointed in odd direction or bike leant toward viewer or contents of the background being distracting or distracting foreground or , (especailly for this category-theme) too much foreground or too much background.

    Burque gets honorable mention for using DepthOfField (called something different these days) to blur out the distant background to keep interest on the bike, and for the bike being large part of the frame.

    Voting for Kerrfunk for overall interesting photo with bike posed as main interest, and bike being well lit/exposed. Background is pleasing, but not too distracting.

        Hey, Glen, sometime, maybe after voting complete, tell us... is that posed at waters edge so main background is water surface ... or is that on edge of a wall looking out into space...? sky? ...or what...? huh??

          Gotta go with Kerrfunk. Blue sky, country road, perfectly framed. I wish I was there. Sandy's striking b&w was a strong runner up.

                Hey all, great shots and a tough one. Voting for Sandy with Burque just a whisker behind.

                To add.. Eli, The Ugly is truly one of my favorite bikes on here. It just works. I still miss Steel Toed Tank and his similarly utilitarian 750t.

                            Wow! Thanks guys. That's a lot of votes and great turn out last week. This week how about a work in progress. Probably done befote but for me new ideas are getting pretty slim. I was thinking of a Christmas theme but couldn't get the bike in the house and under the tree. LOL.
