      A different perspective that produces a fun effect.
      Stand a ways back, zoom in, at just the right time of day and time of year and place to have the sun directly behind the bike.

      Well, stand a ways back and kneel down.

        If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then I hope that Dave (Redman) is flattered. Great minds think alike, I guess. I honestly got this image in my head when this week's theme was announced. I was just waiting for the right night to do it. For what it's worth, I like Dave's better. He captured a gorgeous sky. I took a series of shots within seconds of each other to capture this one. The streak in the sky was only in this shot. So I can only assume that I captured a shooting star (meteor) and not a jet trail. I never saw it until I loaded the pics on my computer.

            That's awesome, Kerry! Exactly what I'd hoped to see.

              I could use it for "Where You Live" too -- after I positioned the bike, I texted my daughter, who walked the 75 yards from the house to take the picture for me.

                Great shot Kerrfunk, edited it slightly just to make it look a bit more "real", lol. (removed the main stand from the pic.)

                  Must have taken some coordination, nice job.

                  This one, NOT AN ENTRY, from last year would fit here too, but I'm trying not to reuse older photos. Speaking of which, I thought for sure you'd have a big elephant in your pic.

                    I thought about the elephant, but I've already used it, plus I wanted to do this setup.

                    Here it is with fire hydrant removed as well.

                        Roger, what is that arrow? Yah, looks like it landed into your seat, Ha, that is a fun perspective. And the jet contrail and the sun under the fairing are added elements.

                        I also liked a couple more as interesting pictures that have unusual perspectives.

                        But for the category-theme of "fun perspective", I will vote for Kerry Kerrfunk.
                        I will also search news sources there to see if I find any headline "Local Pastor arrested for riding motorcycle thru downtown center square park."

                          Thanks Dave, for the summation!

                          A lot of different, fun perspectives here, but the one that was the most fun for me, was Kerrfunk's.
                          I actually LOL....

                            Kerrfunk gets my vote.

                              gotta be kerrfunk. That is fun. But if he wins, his daughter should get the honor of picking the next theme since she took the pic.

                                I would honor that. That's the same daughter I caught a little grief here about for parading her around the parking lot in a little pink jumpsuit and bicycle helmet before her feet could reach any pegs. She takes her driver's license test today.
