This was a model shoot, but the model builds and restores motorcycles in this garage. The bike pictured is one he restored.

I LOVE the shadow sculpting! Well done! Adds a nice mystery to the image!

Kinda wish the tire wasn't cropped, and I kind of wish you had just the teeniest bit of hairlight. But even so, it's a nice image.

Thank you. It's a bit different from my usual style to keep the light out of the eyes, but it really made the shot stand out from the other versions.

Thanks for the feedback. I wish the tire wasn't cropped as well. I know I could fix it with some cloning but I really don't want to do the extra work.
