Greetings from the Critique Club
I think you know immediately why this only scored 5.47. If you wanted to get a higher score, then you should not have entered a bike in an automobile ad. Langdon's description even mentions cars, so honestly, you took a risk and you probably knew it ahead of time.
That said, I think the image itself is great. The composition is excellent. The sky, however, feels a little over exposed, always challenging in such bright sunshine not to do that. The bike itself could benefit from being a little bit lighter, but again, not a biggy. The graphics also work, although I perhaps would have left off the border. I think there is a conflict between the cleanness of the advertising graphic and the grunginess of the border, so I think I'd do without the border.
Overall I think this was very well done, but I'm not surprised it didn't do better. In a different challenge I expect it would have been around 5.8 - 6.00.

Nice shot. I have the 1985 VT700C. Only difference I see is mine has dual front disc brakes & yours is a lot cleaner than mine. |

ice composition of this image. The picture is well balanced, clean and interesting. I think the crop on this is pretty good as well, and the presentation of it is also very good from an advertising sense.
Prehaps the bike could have been a little bit lighter, just so that we can see a little more detail in it. Being Black, it is hard to get the right level of exposure to show detail, while still being the orrect colour.
A good submission for the challenge |

Nice clean image. You may get hit a bit from the folks who take "Automobile Ad" litterally. This picture makes me want to hop on and ride. I gave you an 8. |

A really nice entry - very cool lighting and background - the theme and the slogan are outstanding - i am sure you are going to be pounded by the DNMC police for not being a car - but I think it a great entry |

I like the photograph. I'm not sure if it meets the criteria of an automobile ad! I'll take it thought. It is a conveyor of passengers! ;) |

Nicely done. I like the perspective a choice of atmosphere with the building behind. |
