    Vote for Mr Glen Dorkburger. I like the diminishing perspective of the bricks and row of windows. And the diminishing perspective (if that is proper term/description) is a major element of my sample pic. And Glen catches it in two planes.

      I'm going to go with Rich and his b/w composition.

      By the way, Don, I used to live six miles due south of the crash site. True story.

        They've all got something going for them, but on balance (and throwing a dart at the screen) I'll go for...

          Hey all, voting for Rich. I like how the bike is center of frame, but not center of road. It provides just enough asymmetry to make it more interesting.... plus black and white.

                Yes, many nice pics, most that have some element similiar to some element to the sample pic.
                Mostly some sort of diminishing perspective of something, or bike inbetween rows of something.

                On the occassion that I took the sample pic, What caught my attention, and what got me to pull off the road and pose that sample picture, was that the sun at that time of day and time of year was directly in line with that little open row. Was about no shadow down the length of that open row. As evident by my shadow pointed right in line with the open row. The other factor was that the field was accessable from the road (often is a ditch or row of brush or rough terrain)... but none of that is part of the photo.

                  Cool. That would put you pretty much in Clear Lake. would it not?

                      Good morning all.
                      the count...
                      Rich- 4
                      Dorkburger- 4
                      Baatfam- 1
                      Dpep- 1
                      Burque- 1
                      Redman- 1

                      We need a tiebreaker, or I’m fine passing the honors to Rich.

                            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.

                                Ok, we’ve all resorted to some techniques or methods while working on our bikes that might be considered, well, unorthodox. I’ll title the theme - Time to do some sketchy sh!t.

                                -not limited to maintenance tasks, but as usual must include at least some part of your bike.
