Oakland Police Department Motorcycle Division lined their bikes up in a hotel parking lot in Monterey for a local parade. The shot was taken about an hour after dawn.

Gosh, what a llineup! Good seeing to find and photograph this one. While the sky may not have been your friend on the day this was taken, the image still tells a great story.
Nice picture! Like the angle you've chosen, might have liked to have seen it a little lower so that I couldn't see the sky. IMO it looks too overexposed...
Our police force gets weedy BMWs - I'm so jealous! The bikes look really cool here... The slight over-exposure of the sky is a wee bit unfortunate, but by and large I think this shot rocks... Were you tempted to knock the nearest one over? It's a very provoking image - I can hear the roar in my head. I do like this lots and hopefully it will do well.
Picture would have been better with the lighting at a different angle. With all of the bikes being in shadow and the sky being overblown, makes what could have been a great photo into a mediocre one.
Very cool, I actually met several of the Oakland motorcycle division on a visit there one summer. They're a no nonsense group of biker police. Like your shot.
