Taken at Laconia Bike Week in NH this past weekend. Bikes are a little bit darker here than on the actual print.

Not too bad! However, I myself prefer doing it on computer, 'cos it's much easier

Just a recommendation sobi, but whenever you leave something in color in a black and white photo, you're drawing attention to it. In your photos your drawing your attention away from your subject, and to the objects in the background. Usually this style of photo works better on something you want the attention brought to, that you normally might not notice.

Just a friendly suggestion, I'd like to see more of what you come up with.
