This is for my good friend Constantinos "cstathoulis", who was hurt in an accident as many of you know more than a month ago. I wish him "Get Well Soon". I was waiting to get the right shot for this occasion.
I hope he like's it as well as you.

A very nice tribute to Constantinos. I love all the shiny chrome on this bike. I was looking for your reflection but I didn't find it. Well done on the composition and sharpness.

Very clever and clear shot. Not your usual but I understand the idea behind this. I don't really like bikes but this looks very impressive and so shiny.

Hi,Vassilis,nice clean shot :)I agree with Cleo-I afraid and dislike bikes.

Nice work ,regards,val

Hi Vassilis,
Hehe...nice tribute to the Greece motor dare devil Constantinos. Excellent how the shining engine cover acts as a mirror. Well seen and perfect captured. Great posting my friend!

Hi Vassilis,
This is such a wonderful detailed photo, almost makes me want to take a ride on it!!! It's very crisp, well composed and you remembered to make sure your legs don't reflect in the crome like I did with my photo of a hubcap, lol! Well done!
Thanks for sharing,
Fran

Εξαιρετική η απόδοση του χρωμίου και οι αντανακλάσεις. Μία φωτό αντάξια του φίλου μας Κώστα με τα περαστικά μας!

Ah... a shinny piece... :P

look like a new bike... is this before or after the accident? very well care for... I like your composition here, very sharp and great in details, well done my dear... :) thanks for sharing

Cheers,
Sweety

He will be happy and so can you for making this very good shot. But will his dear wife be happy ? Is she maybe a little scared after the accident? Talked some time back with John about it and I remember John told me wife Hellen is scared and I can understand. Well again Vasilis, good shot.TC

Hello Vassilis,
This is a great tribute for Constantinos with that great Motorcycle shot. The composition is excellent with great lighting and reflections.
There is just one default and it's not in your photo. it's an Honda not an Harley. :))) loll
Greetings
Luc

Ah..yes... the real motto behind riding a bike!

Excellent POV & reflections! In fact, I recognize the owner standing in front of his jewellery shop! (^_^)

Thanks for the support & I'm almost back to normal from the accident.

Constantinos

Nice men's shot.
I like it :-)
Clear details and good idea of the reflection.
Thank you for sharing

WOW! A spectaculare image, wonderfully composed and look at my historical vehicle. Not to campare with, as far as it concerns the speed and the power:-)))))I love this reflection in the front.
Regards Rose

Hi Vassilis. Superb detail in the image. Extremely well captured considering all that glaring chrome. I just hope Constantinos considers a safer mode of transport in future. Well done and TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Whorls’

Nice get well card, Βασίλη. That bike is well cared for... not a spot interfering with the reflection. Nice crop too - IMO that's the hardest decision to make in shots like this one.
TFS

excellent details and sharpness vassilis :)
i like the chrome, these bikes a very popular here because of the more "asian size" and cheaper price :)
how did you manage to stay out of the reflections? :P

will be back again with the pts :) im behind by 2 days now :P

Vassilis, what a gift to Con. I'm sure he is enjoying it. Very sharp, clear, and well composed. :) Vandana

Hello Easy Rider, and a compliment! :-)
Joos

This is someone who really takes care of his bike! Sparkling clean shot. And you manage not to show yourself in the reflection. Nice work!

Hello Vassilis, you captured very well the nice chrome of the motorcycle. I always wonder how to capture these beauties but wasn't succesful. You managed it very well.
Nice reflections. Very sharp. Good pov.

And a nice dedication to Cons!

Very well done! Yan :)

ps: many thx for your review on "Spin Limit add." I fell very honoured that you like it :)

Excellent piece of work and a great tribute to our dear friend.
Well done, my friend !

Great pov, lovely chrome, but that is the very reason why I would never buy one - can't see myself spending days polishing a bike...

Good chrome-atic picture..

Best regards,

Technically the photo is well done: chrome is shining, there is some little reflections with interest. But as to see a motor just itself in photo i would prefer to saw you perhaps in the bigest part. It would have a more dynamic interaction with you and the machine...
But now i read the note i understand better your interest in that one...
Good idea :)

Hi Vassilis,
Great close-up of this Cool Honda.
I like your focus,sharpness,reflections,lighting and note.TFS
Chris

Yes, that is what is says on this Honda - impressive machine - Hope that Constantinos is long since recovered.
Beautiful sharp and shiny picture - C. must have loved it.
My dad imported an old WW II Harley from Greece (American Army Depot) and wanted to restore it - never got the time - you had to kick-start the machine of course - My brother was not interested and so he just gave it away to someone who showed interest. That girls can love machines as well was quite beyond his imagination. Talking about my dad. He finished the last of the very smooth Ouzo (isn't that a shame) and enjoyed it.
Thanks and a wonderful day,
