      Man, Oh, Man!
      So much to exclaim about.
      If I were to start I would yammer on for paragraph and paragraphs, about the quality of them all, and about what is interesting about most of every one.

      Wow! We have some guys that say they have worked on taking silhouette photos for some time, and we have some that say they used pics that were not so much silhouettes and manipulated-edited the file to make it look like a silhouette, and we have one that setup a makeshift situation to produce a silhouette to photo. Wow!

      If was voting for the meaning of the picture, the story behind the picture, the significance of the photo: That would have to be Trevor. Really struck me.

      In deciding between Gustov and Sandy, I think Sandy was the photographer, so I will use that as a tiebreaker and vote for Sandy, plus I liked that it was three bikes.

      Was three other photos quite deserving also.

          I vote for Sandy this time.

          I like the effect... it looks like some type of motorcycle "metamorphisis" from cruiser to sportbike.

              As usual, naming one image as ''best'' seems a disservice to a few others. Using the theme word as the main criteria, gustovh ​is my pick this week.

                Thanks for the recap and commentary, Redman.
                I enjoyed the variety of pictures. Some of these could be in magazines!
                I'm on the Sandy train, with an honorable mention to Roger Burque. I dig that setup!

                  Tough choice as usual. That's a good thing though. I have to go with gustovh this week. I think his entry says the most to me...

                    Burque73, works for me, I like the creativity of the photo.

                    Here is my rendition of Sandy's photo, he just beat me to it.

                      I knew you were going to do that, that's why I posted right away. Ha ha. Anyway I think your photo was actually taken on your camera by Rich (Wizard) IIRC. It was a memorable evening hanging out up there with friends and watching the sunset. I think I'm going with Baatfam's this week. Love the composition and creativity that went into it.

                        I have been pondering since this morning but have to jump on the Sandy train. Lot of good pics this week!

                        2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

                        Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                          Great pics....
                          Sandy's and gustovh's are outstanding...(as we've seen before)
                          Love Storm 64's because of the impromptu nature of the shot...
                          The colors in Jedz', and the effort in Burgue's both deserve notice...
                          Several others are also worthy of winning, but I must vote for...

                          ...trevor's pic of his Dad.

                          Not because of how it met the theme, or it's artistic quality, but because it touched something important in me.
