    Kerrfunk for me. Big colorful background, love it.

    Funny how many odd words, like Kerrfunk, show up in my auto fill options when I type.

      Some very successful pics in this round for various reasons but for meeting the colorful background theme, the explosion of it behind Redmans bike seems to fulfil it the best. I can see Dave wiggling around on his belly framing that one.

        I have to go with Baatfam's this week. Love the way he used selective color and B&W.

            Marvinsc for me, the red is so vivid and the contrast in the color of the bike.

              Bunch of great shots again....

              gustovh's, dorkburger's, trevor's, and Rich's all sit very high on my list, and all are really stand out photos.

              But I keep going back to Roger's (Burque73), and he gets my vote.
              The vertical art looming over the bike just works for me, even though it is almost the subject, not back ground.
              And I rarely like portrait format photos anyway, so it must REALLY work for me.

                Voting for Rich, the "under the Rainbow" shot.

                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.

                        Yep, Keerfunk 3, Rich 2. And single votes for 7 others. All as Bob said.

                        Interesting vote in that had votes for 9 contributors, which is almost 2/3rds of all the entries.
                        I would say this is because a lot of pictures did have something quite colorful in the background.

                        Also interesting (in doing the tally) in that the last vote, the 12th vote, breaking the 2-2 tie.


                        PS: 14 entries (counting the sample, which is an entry) and 12 votes for 9 different entries.
                        9 of 14 is 0.64 which well over 1/2, is almost 2/3rds (0.66).

                          That was a good crop of photos, for sure.

                          Congratulations, kerrfunk! What cool theme do you have for us this week?

                              And for this week I'll say the theme is "Biker's Point Of View"
                              and I put it in quotations in case you wish to creatively interpret.
