Rich gets my vote this week.
Great pic. Looks very similar to the landscape in Northern Ontario where i've done extensive riding.

Voting for Rich. There is a place near me where I could get a similar shot but not in the snow and ice.............

Agh, while I was at dinner last night with my wife, she and I both liked Trevor’s pic. I typed “Voting for trevor. Stunning scene.” It evidently never posted. Didn’t realize till checking in just now. Sorry. Thanks for the votes. I’ll be back in a bit with something. I wanted to go with “Bronze nudes” but realized I don’t have a sample pic.

Theme is monochrome.
This does not necessarily mean just black and white. Though my entry pic is just that.
definition: A monochrome image is made up of shades of a single color. For example, a grayscale image is made up of shades of gray. Here are examples of color monochrome images. Could be a red bike in front of a red building, or green bike in green field. Looking for an image made up largely of varying hues of the same color.

Examples:

Are we allowed to use Photo Shop or something like that to manipulate a existing photo?

Are we allowed to use Photo Shop or something like that to manipulate an existing photo?

Sure. Let the voters judge by whatever criteria they like. Back before digital, if we wanted to make a B&W print, we had to shoot using B&W film to make the B&W negatives to make that print. We live in a digital world now. We’re looking at images on screen. While some fancy digital cameras give the ability to capture images in B&W from the start, I believe most start out as a color image, then altered with post processing. You can do it right in your phone, don’t even need any special tools. All that is to say - let’s see what you got.

Is this Monochrome?
No filters or photo manipulation, just what came up at the fireworks show last summer.

That’s the idea, Norm. Perfect example.
it CAN be B&W, like mine or Trevor’s, or sepia-tone, or a pic with dominant color cast or overall feel/look, like yours or Vince’s.

What a cool pic to be converted to B/W. From my phone's screen it totally looks like water in the background with waves breaking on the rocks just behind your bike.

Good theme this week, Rich.
Made me find some features on my computer that i didn't know i had.
