 I did 2 editing versions of this, and have gone back and forth on which one to enter. This one is a little more high key, but seems crisper. We will see if I made the right decision next Tuesday! I have another bicycle wheel shot I like even better, but I did not write my steps down as I processed and I think I exceeded the basic rules. Will post outtakes later.

I really like the high key look. However the composition doesn't work well for me. I think maybe if you included more of the bike it would fit better in the frame.
