For your consideration and critique.....

From my travels few years ago...

Too bad about the dull sky...
Canon A85 point and shoot :)

I can't see the image - just a small dotphoto picture.

I can see the images...they are 300X500 pixels (ish). Can others see them?

Yes, but I have to say it's a touch unimpressive. It's washed out from the overcast, sure but the composition doesn't quite work for me. Are you trying the bike leaning one way, the tower leaning the other? That would work better with less of the extra building in the foreground - could you have moved the bike back along the fence a bit to clear the middle ground up?

I just opened it in PS and did a quick levels adjustment, which gave it a bit more "pop". The bike stood out a bit more. Obviously you can't go back and re-shoot but is this a cropped photo? If not, I would go with the levels/curves adjustment as it looks a bit washed out.

That tower in the background can easily be straightened in Photoshop. Use the ruler/straighten tool. No point in letting it ruin your image.

Nice one Matt ;)

Marvin unfortunately this is not a cropped photo. I tend to 'overcrop' when I shoot and often find that I feel like a zoomed out shot would be better...

I didn't think I could have moved the bike. But could have moved my perspective though...

thanks for your comments. This is edited few years ago when I was starting out on Photoshop and I may able to improve on the contrast now. Now to hunt down the original...
