First impression is OOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!! I love the colors on the chrome and I'm a Harley fan anyway.
The focus is clear, the composition is interesting, though a tiny bit busy.
It's so hard to critique a great shot like this. I think you've done a fabulous job capturing the difficult media (chrome is notoriously difficult to get right) and you've cropped and presented the image perfectly.
I'll stand by my first impression and say it again...OOOOOHHHH!!!!
This is a 100 Year Anniversary Harley on display for a raffle during a Mariner baseball game in Seattle. It is under a purple awning that the sun was shining on. If you look carefully at the center chrome engine cover, you can see the corner of the awning. The whole area had a purple "glow". All I did to the photo was crop and click the "auto-levels" button in ACDSee.
Nice shine in the chrome. I think the contrast is too low - black is not black enough and this leads to loss of separation in the rest of the image - making it hard tosee what it is.
awesome streaks of colour. Your post processing is very creative and effective, and the composition is divine. I took a shot that had this idea of chrome/shininess/abstract engine thing in mind, but I think you knew how to get what I was thinking of better than I ever could!
This is a really neat view but the color cast makes it look very odd. It looks quite unnatural... If that was your objecive, then you accomplished it well... I like chrome, but I think chrome does a nice job of creating nice abstract colors on it's own :)
