 Had this in mind for a while for this challenge and finally went for it. Having been an adult for longer than I care to remember it had been quite some time since I did this stuff on a motorcycle! Ah, the memories came flooding back.....

OK enough of that. I set my camera up on a mini tripod on a friends paved driveway. Set the timer and put the camera on multiple exposure mode, hit the shutter button hop on the bike and let er rip. Took about 40 shots overall.

Adjustments:
Crop
Hue and Saturation
Color balance
levels
selective color
brightness and contrast
curves
Channel mixer
unsharpen mask
size etc.

Perhaps there would be more 'Circle' impact if this was taken from the side on and a little earler to reduse the interferance of the smoke.

aren't those tires expensive?

This picture I like A LOT, but I don't think it goes with the subject very well. I am sorry I have to give this a lower score. Because it is so great.

Anytime you smoke a tire you get at least a 6 in my book!

This is the only way to properly treat a Metzler. Switch to Michelin or Bridgestone pronto! :)

Smoke smoke smoke and more smoke...seems that the smoke is really the key factor of this image...I do like the composition though, an interesting crop.

I don't think this really fits the challenge. A circle is not dominant here.

Ouch. That's expensive fun...

I think you might have been able to crop from his leg forward out... The rest just doesn't add a lot to the pic, and kind of distracts.

nice one

Some interesting lighting on this could have made a big difference I think. With the smoke back-lit, the wheel might stand out more as a silhoette? 5

the smoke is too distracting.... I gues he over did it. BTW did you have to buy him new tyres?
