      Sorry folks, have been offline flat out prior to Xmas. Thanks for the votes, a lovely surprise to get the win first time out.
      Completely happy with the choice to drop me for next selection, sensible decision of course.
      A quick description of the shot, was taken with my HTC phone in March 2016, at the Suzuki Katana Australia forum 35th anniversary celebrations, Albury weir Victoria.
      We had a total of 55 (proper) Katana's with Popup's accepted as Kosher Kat's. It was fantastic walking through the camp ground before and after the event, with Katana's everywhere, what a weekend!

          I am realizing that of the times I have been riding and have seen the moon, on none of those occasssions did I stop to get a picture. And that my own fault, not yours Rich.

          looks like weather will be lot warmer (45 degF) than average (20-30).
          Looking at the phase of the moon we are about 3 days from a “new moon” (meaning the opposite of full moon), and days between now and then will be something like 10%, 3%, 1%, then the 0% (new moon), then 1, 3, 10%. That was interesting to look into, as I had never known what “new moon” was, and had never seen those charts that list the percent every day (and rise time , set time, and what part of sky). So, has been a good experience e for that. Thanks

          Will see if I can improvise something.

                I could probably do a moon shot picture, but I'm sure it wouldn't be pretty. Maybe I can get the GF to do a moon over my Yammy! Just asked. Nope, ain't gonna happen...

                  Also, just to confirm, we do NOT need a selfie moon shot over the Yammie!

                    LOL. I've got an old slide from years ago that I called Four Moons Over Crater Lake. Good thing for everybody there's no motorcycle in the picture.

                          I was thinking I must have a pic that has the moon in the sky, just that I dont remember.

                          After Multiple occassions of looking thru pictures, I find this from back 2012, August 2012, apparently on way to work, 6am, I pulled off in a parking lot in industrial park to take this picture of the low hanging full moon.
                          I dont recall it.

                          I recognize the place, and know is looking west, so at 6 am, that is not the sun.

                          I am annoyed not only with the focus, but the general compostion.
                          Only good thing is that I did find a place with a somewhat open area.
                          But apparently I just stood there, and took a picture of "here, look, what I saw this morning on way to work".

                          Am almost hollering at myself, hey, if would have gotten down for lower perspective, just bend down some, or kneel on one knee, or something, could have minimized the open grassy area, minimized the hanger and industrial building, and had the bike and the moon and the sky fill more of the frame.

                          I suppose this all shows how my photo thought process has changed-improved in recent years.

                          Would have been real easy to have the pic composed more like this

                                Good Friday Morning GSR! Hopefully everyone had a great holiday...

                                But now it is time to vote.

                                First, the theme by Rich:

                                Seven entries this week. (Assuming I didn't miss any and Photobucket is behaving)

                                It was a holiday week, with a tough theme....
                                So thanks to everyone that took the time to play.
