not very good light I know, the camera is on a very small tripod, on the timer, so the bike is not moving, I chose the location, with the fallen tree to hide my right foot on the ground steadeing the bike, but as the camera was so low down, the tree has hiden more than I realy wanted.

as many of you noticed the lack of motion I should explain, I was alone on the bike, with a tank bag, I only had room for a small tripod, so setting the cameraas high as the pod would go, about14inch, set the self timer, and run round and sit on the bike, right foot on the ground, I no it would have been better if the log was a bit smaller, it was good fun doing it, as was the ride over there and back, Thanks for all the comments.

lower DOF woould emphasize the biker better and complement the fact that everything is bland except for the rider who is bright and colourful. as well, i dont have the sense that the bike is moving...
Too much of the bike is hidden for my tastes and it could do with showing more in the way of movement. The bike looks like it is propped up behind a log . . although I'm sure it isn't :)
Hmm, I find the log in the foreground really does let us know this in a forrest but I think its a little distracting? Nice shot and nice bike none the less
