Very minimal post processing

(to make the sky look dark blue instead of light blue)
in PhotoPlus 6.0 and
> Noise Median cut to smooth off the edges.

I like this shot. Simple, lots of emotion. I think the crop/composition and the noise kept if from scoring well. The missing portions of the tires, particularly the front, are akin to a portrait of a human cropped at a joint ;)
Here is a version with noise reduction and unsharp mask. In hindsight oversharpened it, given the image size, but you get the idea!
the cropping of the botom of the bike kinda ruins this picture. its very creative and it looks like it took some thought but the cropping and the background color could have been changed to make this better
