 A stretch, yes, but if you look at the front fork and/or brake it kinda sorta maybe looks like the symbol for pi, plus wheels are round.

Was taken outside on a beautiful day, had to use a tight crop and shallow dof to eliminate my neighbor's houses on the far ridge.

Fits The Challenge-Yes-a stretch, but I get it.
Composition-Good
Background-Good-I like shallow dof. Good color.
My Opinion-I think the texture, and the color make this shot. It's interesting to look at and a feast for the eye. Not the usual. Unique.
Well done. Not much to add either way, I think you did this just fine.

Cool idea. I see the pi! The shallow DOF is nice, and so is the texture of the muddy bike tyre. Nice rakish angle to make the composition interesting.

A fun, graphic macro shot. I'm a little confused as to how, exactly this meets the pi challenge: if it is the roundness of the bike tire (pi deals with making circles as you know), it might be better to show us it circularity. The shocks and machinery of the bike also communicate pi in a subtle way: they kind of make up the symbol of pi. your sharpest focus is on the mud; I'm not sure if that is the most significant place to look. A lot of drama in this photo!

Imaginative but a little obscure without the title.

Original! I prefer the pics of a natural pi sign like this one. Good job!

Nice perspective. Wish the whole tire was in focus. Also that red sticky thing is distracting. Nice shocks!
