a combination of LucisArt filters, exposure, curves, shadows & highlights and a good dose of inspiration that came from studying George Fulton's photographs ...

Certainly a unique image here in this challenge.
The post-processing has taken this out of the realm of photography in my opinion. Have you tried this in a high-contrast black & white?
i respectfully disagree. every photograph essentially is an approximation. what your eyes see and what your sensor captures can almost never be the same.
You have captured and brought out the essence of a Harley and the Harley mentality. Superb! I really love this "as art" but it's no longer a photo. Normally I would react quite negatively to the amount of post processing, ..., but somehow I can't. Well done. Among my top picks.
thank you. i would however consider this to still be a photograph. what i have done here is not fundamentally different than when a skilled photographer uses a softbox to accentuate the facial features of a subject while shooting a portrait. i find it incredibly liberating and thankful for to have and use the tools that i have in my disposal to bring out what i consider to be the true essence of a particular subject. as you have astutely noted, i believe this photo captures the essence of a harley as expressed by yours truly. thanks again.

This is very well done, but I fear it may be a bit too much "digital art" for DPC voters. All in all, though it's a nice photograph from which to start and a nice job of processing along the artistic lines. I really like the reflection of the building that shows up in places.
Have to vote a flat 5 for this as I don't particularly like the processing treatment you have given it. I guess you have restricted your positive voters by going down this route as its not 'typical' DPC ribbon treatment so I applaud you for trying something different.
For me, this image has gone too far into the realm of digital art. I happen to prefer my images to look more like the subjects do in real life. I realize it's only my opinion... but that's the only way I can vote. :-)
