"Ducati"

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

Patrick,

Very appealing image!

I like background -It's all about speed.

I don't like the price tag...not cheap motorcycle ;)

Regards,

ZT,

This works real well as an automotive abstract. Love the color and detail, not so much the price.

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

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. Regards, Patrick

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!

Thanks for your comments Philip. I'm happy you like it. Regards, Patrick

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

Thank you Vincent. Your comments are always welcome. Regards, Patrick

Great shot, Patrick! I love this cool object, plus the reflections that give the impression of movement, Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana P.S. Sorry my belated comment

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

This is eye-catching, Patrick. Especially when viewed large. I like the subtle speed blurring effect that you've added. Very nice. Kudos.
