Gosh, what a llineup! Good seeing to find and photograph this one. While the sky may not have been your friend on the day this was taken, the image still tells a great story.

this looks a little bunt out on my monitor. but sweet pic.

Nice picture! Like the angle you've chosen, might have liked to have seen it a little lower so that I couldn't see the sky. IMO it looks too overexposed...

Nice entry but overexposed at the top

Very nicely composed, well taken picture. To my eye the focus could perhaps be a bit sharper.

lol... nice progression. Wish the sky wasn't so washed.

The sky is too bright. Nice picture though.

i like this one

Our police force gets weedy BMWs - I'm so jealous! The bikes look really cool here... The slight over-exposure of the sky is a wee bit unfortunate, but by and large I think this shot rocks... Were you tempted to knock the nearest one over? It's a very provoking image - I can hear the roar in my head. I do like this lots and hopefully it will do well.

Picture would have been better with the lighting at a different angle. With all of the bikes being in shadow and the sky being overblown, makes what could have been a great photo into a mediocre one.

Nicely framed..shows off the perspective to good advantage
04/07/2004 03:42:02 PM
I think you needed to crop off the sky - it's just too bright
04/07/2004 03:20:40 PM
the angle of the light leaves the main subject, the front wheels, in deep shadows. could the bikes have been moved or try a different time of day

The sky cost you 2 points.

Very cool, I actually met several of the Oakland motorcycle division on a visit there one summer. They're a no nonsense group of biker police. Like your shot.

A wonderful shot... IMO, it would look alot better had you cropped out the overexposed sky. Good effort anyway... good luck!
