No.. not Spain this time, but England ^_^ !
Being in London a few days in June I had this group of Motor bikers in front of me..

The funny part in here is that in slang Dutch KAK = 'faeces' (in Vlamish Belgium and Sth Afrikaans also )
At a traffic light I had the chance to take this photo trough my front window.

Thanks for popping in Folks;
John T

Hi John,

Wow, this is a nice one. Very well captured.
The picture quality is below your standard and the misty frame ...
But it is more then enough for the big fat smile!

Hendrik

great colors, cropped very tight but who cares, good job. like this one.
Christine.
a smile for you .

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space


Een stukje uit Born to be wild ;-) mooie foto alleen jammer dat de detail niet optimaal zijn.

Groet uit het noorden.

Jos

Hi John. Wat een mooie compositie in geweldige kleuren.

Groet Frans.

Good shot, John - especially since it was at the spur of the moment. Composition, colors, PP work ( I assume, with the blur?) all create a nice result!

Gayle :)

Wow John! This is superb! So well captured and composed. Very clear, great colours. I love it.

Have a great winter solstice! Little sis Yan :)

CT

Have you made this picture because you like the pov and bikes? Or do you like men in leather clothes, Johnieboy?????????????haha, just kidding mate. Geinig gedaan. Puntjes een andere keer. Ik heb ze al vergeven.

Groetjes,

Don

So this is wht you have been so quiet lately - you've been on holiday riding bikes... There is a lot of colour in this photo and the compo is great, tells a wonderful story. tfs
jaco

Great image with vibrant colours and excelent DOF. Three elements well placed also enhances the composition. Well done. Perhaps the unsharp mask and "digital zoom" (pixalation) is a bit noticeable, but still great image. Well spotted with the letters in the number plate... oh sh..
what am I saying... sorry boss!

Hello Johnny,
Great image and I join Josine here, yep, trust you to notice somethinkg like this (the personalised number plate:)))

Great bikes!!!

Shelly

Hi John,
now this is my kinda thing!!! I love motor bikes, infact, I have two!
Well captured and presented :)

Nice shot. It's a capturing - eye catching one ! Nice colours and contrast and you re-worked it the right way. Well done.

The border is a bit intrusive on the other two bikes, but apart from that a well captured image.

Only one critical point, and this isn't a photo point, I would've blanked out all of the number plates (apart from the KAK bit as this was the point of the image). Only a security issue really.

Still a good shot :o)

Hi John

Came accross this photo of yours and considered it quite amusing, because it reminded me of my recent visit to Sweden where I photographed a building with the same "amusement" in mind. See Sweden Faeces Hotel

Hoop jy het 'n wonderlike dag, waar daar geen k.a.k. is :) !

Cheers

Carlo

hello John, some shot! colourful and vibrant. Funny title. You may be interested to know that as a child we used the word kakky for the same thing. Perhaps it came to England from the Boer war?
regards
Bev

Funny note John.
I see those kind pretty often, both in the UK and in Poland.
Worked with a lot of SA ppl so knew a few words, including this one which made me smile and laugh.

Nice shot of motor bikers, good colours.
