michaellinder 16,613 Posted September 16, 2019 Patrick, I know practically nothing about motorcycles, but I have heard about several manufacturers, in this case, Ducati. I noticed the price tag of $22k in the image, but that's trivia compared to the view of the motorcycle itself. To me, the shock absorber appears to be heavy-duty, and the closeness of the handles to each other communicates the intensity of the ride and the required concentration of the driver. The number indicates that it's used for, or may be used, for racing. Yet, what I like most are the decals - one that identifies the cycle's country of origin (as if I didn't know, a motorcycle association in the US, and Ducati itself. Quite well done. I'd really like to see a photo of this beast in action. - - My best, michael Link to comment
Zbigniew Tyburczy - ZT 6 Posted September 16, 2019 Patrick, Very appealing image! I like background -It's all about speed. I don't like the price tag...not cheap motorcycle ;) Regards, ZT, Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted September 17, 2019 This works real well as an automotive abstract. Love the color and detail, not so much the price. Link to comment
frigo 4,155 Posted September 17, 2019 Patrick..The square frame captures all one needs to appreciate the icon this Ducati is...the price tag included!I also like the tie-wrap around the brake handle sort of saying that this thing is not going anywhere before you pay the price!Bravo et salutations-Laurent Link to comment
patrickcompagnucci 30 Posted September 17, 2019 Michael, ZT, Jack and Laurent thanks for commenting, I'm glad you all like it. I really wanted tp photograph this bad boy from inside the store, however it was closed so I did the best I could through the window. I intend to get back there and shoot it again.

Guest Guest Posted September 18, 2019 Shot through the shop's window? That effect together with the blurred background give the impression that the bike is already charging at top speed down the streets. Great! Link to comment
patrickcompagnucci 30 Posted September 18, 2019 Thanks for your comments Philip. I'm happy you like it. Regards, Patrick Link to comment
vincentoiseau 83 Posted September 19, 2019 Hi Patrick, this is a most attractive photo with lots of detail, especially considering the fact you shot it through the shop's window! Like ZT and Jack, I don't like the price tag, but there's nothing you could do about that. The yellow color and the number on the front wing are really nice, as is the composition. Kind regards, Vincent Link to comment

patrickcompagnucci 30 Posted November 8, 2019 Thank you Tatiana, I'm happy you like this. Your response is greatly appreciated, I know how difficult it is to stay on top of all the posting. I miss a few myself. Regards, Patrick Link to comment
peter.s 0 Posted March 19, 2020 This is eye-catching, Patrick. Especially when viewed large. I like the subtle speed blurring effect that you've added. Very nice. Kudos. Link to comment
