I like the shot alot. That's also the first song by the Crüe I ever heard

Thanks G and Ls3D, yeah it is too crowded, but I didn't feel like pulling everything out of the garage that day, but reshoot in the future.

Anyone else?

yes a nice feeling going with this, good choice of b&w and the exposure, sharpness etc spot on....84/85 evo wide-glide?

For me the crowded feeling is mostly the out of focus cabinet and skateboard in the foreground. Moving the camera a few feet to the right might have eliminated that. Other than that, it's a really good exposure. Excellent range from white to black. No details lost to blown-out highlights or underexposed shadows. GREAT detail in the bike and you.

Other than the cabinet, really nice work!

Thanks, and Roger, yeah it's a '85 wide glide with shovel bottom evo top. Over 150,000 miles and has been all over the united states.
