Another wonderful image. I love the sky.

Thanks a lot Sandy for your great comment. "The outdoor man" is of course not my photo, but I am the outdoor man in Tuborg's photo, so your were right about that thing.

Awesome photo Braggi! So now, you unstoppable Icelanders are joining forces, huh? Now we'll never have a chance to be competitive against you guys (tee hee) :) I thought his photo was yours in the voting.

This is so perfect! Congratulations on 4th place!

My top go'r. GL, no need in critiquing this one, I haven't found anything about it I would change, but quite a few things I would of screwed up. LOL. Good luck mate, the contrasting colors, mood, and p.p. with the sky is simply amazing. I predict Top 3.

I love motorcycle photos and this a good one. Nice, nice background and perspective. I really like the sky and comp.

Has WOW, so will do well.
The angle of view really works well putting the red against the blue sky. Maybe a red helmet might have added that final touch

cool perspective. Is the light shining in the center from an effect or was that there during the shot. If so, very lucky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

They don't grow clouds THAT smooth in our neck of the woods. :D This is a nice photo although I think the subject is not a large enough piece of the message/story for a portrait themed challenge. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Nice colors, perspective. I like how he's framed within the picture by the features of the land and the sky.

Sharp and vivid. Rich color. Love the perspective of the clouds. Nice job. 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great Shot. Best of the group yet and a 10 in my book. My only area of critique on this one would be the rear wheel starts to get a bit of a fish-eye look to it which seems a little off from the rest of the pic.
