Here's a recent pic from one of the hottest days we've had in quite a while. Some areas around town said 107°. The 2003 FJR is a hot running bike to begin with, but in this heat it was rediculous. The tank was darn near too hot to touch. My thermo- laser pointer thing measured it at 147°. I could hear gas boiling inside when I shut the engine off.
So, the theme, HOT!

Im lost what am I missing? It’s a photography contest right? I mean I can concede that it might not be the best but really not a single vote? Look at it again and give me your perspective
lol lol

I can't tell if you're serious, Trevor. I like the irrigation spray in the wind, how it grabbed the light and makes me feel that chill, as if I'm riding through it. Nice photo! Just didn't grab me.
If anyone should throw a fit I think it'd be Glen. The moon is hard to capture in a pic. Even harder is getting the bike well lit and having the color not washed out from a flashlight or something. He pulled it off nicely. I just didn't get the "farm" feel from seeing that pic.Roger

But even though it is a "photography contest" not everyone here votes that way.
We have members that vote for the bike with the most exhaust pipes, or for memories of the a place they've been, or a bike they've owned.
I've put up many photos I believe are very good, without any votes at all.
Conversely, I've won with poor, throwaway photos I thought would never get a vote.
Go figure. It's the nature of the beast.
If you want your photos to be judged only on it's artistic merit, I suggest a real photo contest somewhere, not our little "game."
Ask Glen, he competes in local photo contests, with real judges.
Now, here is my thoughts on your photo Trevor.
It's a great start, interesting subjects, and a great place to take a photo, but...
It looks flat, colors are very subdued, and the sky is a little boring.
The subject is not very clear. Is it the bike, the water, or the field?
The water is spraying out of the photo to the left, while the bike is sitting on the right side face out of the frame.
Turn the bike around and put the space in front of the bike.
Wait for the water to be spraying into the frame, in the direction of the bike.
Crop it back a little to get rid of the bush on the right.
And then the usual color/detail/noise improvements.
I hope you take that the way it was meant, with love.
Anyway....it's just a game, an enjoyable game, and I like to see other peoples photos....
Don't really care who wins, as long as I don't have to think of a theme...Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

I think Trevor was just joking around.
I surely was just messing with him.
I like this week's theme, I hope I can pull off my idea...My Motorcycles:
22 Kawasaki Z900 RS (Candy Tone Blue)

And there were times I grabbed something from my archives at the last minute just to support the game and won going away.
If you are looking for rhyme or reason this is probably not your thread. I think of it more as a place where someone else for some reason would actually have an interest in seeing pictures I have taken.
Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.

I'm always thinking, and hoping, all the stuff here is all in fun, joking around, and enjoying motorcycle stuff with Pictures. I love it this way. Most sure Trev was just poking at us like some of us poke at him. I started to say maybe he wanted to join a begging or hissy fit contest. It surely shouldn't be taken seriously, just something to poke back at me about.... Heck maybe I will get upset, I've never got any votes.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.
