      Several pics that I like for different reasons.

      Bob baatfam is a fine shot, and the reflection in the windscreen is clearly the main element. Is certainly one of the top ones in my mind.

      And I like the mirror-view-from-the-bike shots. And I like the reflection in the puddle pics.

      But I keep coming back to Glen Drk'bgr shot. THe reflections of the lights may not be the main element but certainly is a large part of the scene since he caught it on a night when the reflections were cooperating. Voting for Dorkburger mostly because the picture holds my interest the longest, and I will use that consideration as the tiebreaker in my deliberations.

      >>Later note
      If anybody is wondering: Yes, my pic is a capture of a refection as it occurred, is light as came thru the lens on one occasion, one shot. Is not any trickery with software and multiple images layered.
      I have found if have the reflective (or partly reflective) surface in the shade and the scene behind me in bright sun, then the reflected image of the scene shows up better. (Same technique as used in my face-in-tank avatar pic.)
      Next trick (which I didnt do too well here) is getting the focus on the reflected image and not the reflective surface.

            I'm voting for Hayabuser's this week. I love the feeling of solitude and pleasure of a lonely back road and the pleasure of the ride. The reflection of the gorgeous red Triumph in the puddle just tops it off perfectly.

                    I have been back and forth between Trevor and Dorkburger. Each a spectacular shot for its own reasons. Since I can only pick one it will be Dorkburger's near perfect framing over Trevor's spectacular panorama.

                            I forgot to cast my vote last night...LOL...

                            As much as I love Trevor's and Jedz's panoramic lake shots...
                            The way that dorkburber's white over blue bike is reflected in the white bridge over blue water, is just wonderful.

                            My vote goes to dorkburger

                              That makes Dorkburger 6 and Trevor 5.

                                Good morning.
                                Thanks for the votes. I wish I had been more aware of the picture set up when I took that. I would have gotten that garbage, particularly that block by the back wheel, out of the image. That location is surrounded by industry. A petroleum storage facility to the right and an excursion boat dock to the left. In other words, not a beautiful pristine spot. An intersecting one though.
