Hope he doesn't think the gas tank is an ash try like the tones - great feel to the image.

Good looking bike. Nice shot. Must be a nice way to spend some time. Leaning back on a big bike with a big cigar. Maybe even a Cuban before long.

What's your theme? Cigars, Harleys, b&w film?

Yeah huh. Thanks for the 'tones' comment - it's just regular old trix, developed and scanned normally, so this is all on Kodak. I left the highlights where they were, but pushed the shadows down a bit, dodged the mechanicals, and skin a bit. And I spotted some dust.

Grats Art. I got the idea he was playing at a Clay Morrow fantasy.

What did Rev. Doug call it ... an eternal verity?

I don't know what my theme is yet, but the fun will be in finding it!

a selfie a la mode 2015?

 

[Chris101]

Thanks Klaus! I'm looking forward to your visit!

Although the guy DOES bear a bit of resemblance, I neither ride nor smoke.
Good idea though.

Nice shot. Like the treatment of it as well.

 

[OHcorgis]

Yikes! No helmet and smoking a cigar. LOLOLOL! Neat catch.

 

[LyndeeLoo]

I do really, really like this, Chris. This looks like someone who truly enjoys his stogie and his Harley, LOL!!! Excellent shot, and I love the processing!

 

[Chris101]

Thanks Tin, Birgit, Lyndee! The processing was in HC110, dilution B, scanned the tri-x, adjusted the contrast, and boom!

great capture, Chris. I like all in this pic apart from the "windmills", but that's another story.
There's a lot of "morning has broken" mood in it.

 

[Jeff Lee]

On the road again, say those are funny trees you have in your area. The softness of the light makes this an interesting image for me.

 

[ArtO]

Nice Chris. I really like the windmills. Golly there are a lot of them cropping up these days.
