Pic of the week game

Ugh, can't decide. Scrolling back and forth for twenty minutes now. For me it's a toss up between Gustovh and Charlie G.

I'm going with the Golden Wing. Charlie G this week.

Lots of great pics this week..

That's for sure. Its not often I don't look back at my bike after a ride and think of it as something of great beauty. It looks like many others might do the same.
Its difficult to decide on one, I'll try again later..
 
BTW...We had a record 17 entries this week. Considering the theme, and the short holiday week, (in the U.S.), that is pretty impressive.

Still deciding myself...tricky business, this.
 
Enough dithering..​
''..an interesting, artistic, or sales brochure shot. Think "Glamour Shot," or "Print Ad.''
After pondering a 7 pic short list, all successful in at least one or more of the requirements, the nod (imho) goes to Jedz Triumph.​
My apologies to the other 6, all worthy images.
 
All great entries, I am torn between Jedz and Steve Murdoch, giving the nod to Steve mostly because of the subject. Love the Old 1000's.
 
So many good photos....

Tevor's shot would be my number one choice, IF it was shot by one of us.
It is a great picture, but knowing it was a professional, I guess I am holding it to a higher standard, and there are a couple things I didn't like. (Specifics upon request);)

Both Gustovh's and Charlie G's photos are both bathed in wonderful, golden light.

Redman's and Burque73's photos are almost the same crop, reversed.

Dorkburger, storm 64, kerrfunk, and Rich82GS750TZ, were "closer" than most, (pun intended), to what I had in mind, with Rich's B&W shot being my favorite.

Sandy's is a classic I've always liked, along with several other nice, whole bike shots, steve mudock, bonazadave, cowboyup, marvinsc, and fastbysuzuki.

But, if I look at this strictly as something from a magazine ad, my vote goes to Jedz. Just add the magazine copy...(another contest?)

I'm going to go with Sandy's this week as it reminds me of the 1978 cut-a-way center fold motorcycle magizine ads for the GS850 when it came out. Mind you this is an extremely hard choice to make this week! My regards to Kerfunk, fastbysuzuki, Bonanzadave, gustov, steve murdoch, Baatfam and all!
 
Thanks for posting the record 17 pix, Baatfam! And thanks for the honorable mentions. I enjoyed telling the tale of my 700E, and I was proud of my humble works.

Nice topic!

My vote is for Sandy​. I love the semitransparent effect!
 
I loved the golden sunset or sunrise lighting on Gustovh and Charlie?s cycles.
Trevor?s is lovely, and I definitely would enjoy seeing it daily for a month.
The two that I keep coming back to are Baatfam?s and Storm?s. Pretty much a toss up, but I?m voting for Storm 64. That bike looks impeccable! I also like the color of the sun on the tank.
 
Wow. Great bunch of photos this week and a tough call as well. I'm going with marvinsc as that photo to me just screams "Come and ride me'.
 
Some more great pics.

But using a tie breaker of what pose might be in a sales brouchure,
brings me back to kerfunk.
 
I like so many of them, but the one image that really grabs me is Jedz' submission:

Norm, a special nod to you for the sunset in the tank
 
I'm going to vote for BURQUE 73 That motorcycle is so photogenic! The gold pinstripe on the front fender just grabs your eye.👍
 
So I submit a pic of a Cooley, used in a calendar shot by a professional for a tag called "glamour shot"...and I don't get a sniff....lol...ok...I' vote for Sandy. :)


Thanks for your Vote Dave... :)

And you didn't expect this?;) Hahaha...we're your friends, what did you think would happen?:p

I got up before sunrise, setup my shot, spent an hour or so taking 60+ photos, pick out a couple, develop them, and.....and....???
Not one vote....:o
LOL....But I learned a lot...and that's why I like this game....:D

Honestly, in all fairness, I studied your picture for some time, as I like to do with pro work. Hoping to learn a thing or three....
And I saw a lot I like in that picture, and a couple things that really distracted me from the object of the picture, which of course is your beautiful bike.

Now I did really like a couple of the close up shots he took, might of voted for one of those. And I might of liked one of the two with you on the bike more, if you weren't looking so grim....LOL
