Interesting shot, a great idea. The sharpness seems way off though, particlularly on the bike, which I would expect to be pretty sharp. The composition, while okay on the bike, doesn't really work for me on the model, as the face seems to occupy an awkward position within the frame. There are some distracting elements in the background that I would have cloned out. I'm presuming there was only one light source, as this has given everything a bit of a flat feel... another light would have been great. In all though, a very creative shot.

Great job, fun shot. Extra marks for effort and the commitment of your model.

Honestly, this probably has the most potential out of the lot. The composition and profile is very strong given the body shape of the subject.

Pose is spot on too and looks ready to burn some rubber. Leaving the socks on just finishes this off and kind of confirms my thoughts of an black comedy picture.

I would dearly love to see this with more contrast and more thought on the background - perhaps black or brick.

An 8 as it is.

This is a very nice photo. It's funny and it has a message and it's not the normal glamour shot. Very nice, i like the brown on the shoes.

Well Done! your model did a great job with form...good straight back, tucked well and has asumed a great riding posture. I like the light source set up and the desat works well here. If I take away a point it would be due to the closness of your background. over all though I like:) good luck! 8

Hmmm, nice soft lighting adds so much to a single rose..I also like that the background isn't solid black and has a hint of blue. Oh there is a speck on the rose...opps, it was on my LCD...:) Good luck.

Composition and natural framing is good as is the layers of the grass and the mountain between the rocks. The light looks a little harsh and even but the color is good and complimentary to the blue sky.
