Thanks for the comments. I knew the backdrop would be an issue, but had no time or $ to do better (no time even to iron the sheet). I was actually outside, but there's a stucco wall and window behind the sheet, so that wasn't an option. Being that I was shooting alone (that's me on the bike), it was impossible to try to do a motion shot. I've actually tried that before and it is impossible to get clipped in and pedaling nicely before the shutter releases. The B&W and posterization on my leg was intended. The set up was the camera on the ground with a chair next to it to toss the shutter release onto once I got on the bike and clipped into the pedals. The light is sun coming from almost directly behind me.
I wish I had more time for challenges so I could do better, but you make do with what you have. At least I learn things from this place. |

| I little posterization on the "pistons", and I'm not fond of the wrinkled fabric in the background. I like the comp and the view on this though. |

| Your backdrop is all wrinkled and it makes my eyes go right to it. The Tone in the Black and White is not that good. I think you need more contrast and adjust the levels of the blacks. Also the title isn't exactly helping your image. |

| interesting crop and good sharpness. Only the background distracts a tad to me: looks like a blanket or sheet.. |

| the backdrop needs to be ironed - it's distracting. maybe try this idea outside with a more natural background. |

| The wrinkly background detracts from the image. I'd like to see the legs in motion, it looks like he's just doing a trackstand. |

| That is a beautiful bike, and it looks like the rider is in decent shape, its a shame you couldn't have captured it in motion and color. |

| My only problem is that you can tell you took this inside with a sheet or cloth as background....I would have either ironed out the wrinkles or taken this same shot outside. |

| I would have tried to post process a little differently, but basic does not give you to much leeway. 6 |

| I like the use of black and white and the composition, but the wrinkly sheet in the background is distracting. |
