Harley-Davidson - Nautical mile NY

I almost called this one "Chrome Beauty". Taken late in the afternoon. Parked on the side of the road with the owner probably keeping a close eye on me while partaking some seafood at a restaurant. I was struck by how immaculate this bike was - nary a spot in sight and everything seemed to be in the right place.

Works great lets start it 

Tony - A bit of a change from much of your work! I like it. The largely monochromatic color palette lets me enjoy the shapes and textures without distraction; even the pavement blends perfectly and adds a distinct but subtle contrast in texture. I love the slash of  dark red  that adds interest and pop without distracting or grabbing too much attention. The next time you find one, see if you can get an angle of and lighting on the tank and get a close-up shot of the buildings reflected and distorted in it. I would make only one suggestion, based on what I would do if it were my art, and this is just me…. I would crop the top edge to get ride of the red object at the top. Once found, my eyes want to pay it (and the highlight to the left of it) more attention than they deserve. 

Cute machine, Tony, well caught! I would never try to ride a bike like this one!

Best regards

Clean and shiny!  

It precisely how it should be!

I found your comment and crop useful and I concur.  Thanks and all the best,

I appreciate your support - all the best and kind regards,

Very nicely cropped and indeed she is a beauty. Thank you,Tony.

Nicely done Tony. Gotta love that chrome!!!   AJ

Fabulous image Tony!! I love the clarity, detail, superb shine of all that chrome, and the delicious reds. I love how that red pin stripe just pops out at us! What a beautiful bike! I wonder how many good lenses one could purchase with what that beauty is worth???

Thanks so much for sharing this one Tony, kind regards, Gail
