Nice bike you have there, Frank. A little behind the times over there. LOL
Excelent capture of the vintage Harley. I'll bet she'll wake up the town.
Well done on this view.

Mike

Great shot and great Bike ..very good matching colors Frank..just taken in the right enviroment ..this would look great in sepia to i think ..Excellent !

A very nice one Frank.
I like the color of the grass (we feel the sun heat ;o) )
You should try it in B/W sepia, that should be nice I think

A wonderful job of scanning this picture Frank...it is sharp and clear with warm colours...very impressive.
Thanks for sharing,
liz

Wow, great looking old Harley Frank, it sure would be fun to ride one of these.

This is more like it. But I had no idea they drove around during WWII looking like cowboys from the Wild West. That Winchester Rifle (which is surely something else) in its holster is a touch I have never seen before. Great shot - and yes, how do you do Frank's framing.

Whao !
I like it very much, this is a great photo of this object butabove all a success in the colors "comme au bon vieux temps"
A lot of compliments

What a beaut :)

Nice nostalgic shot of an old motor bike Frank, being a harley I bet its still going strong. Nicely composed shot using the tent as a muted backdrop. Well done.

Peter

Very fine clean and sharp photo of this marvelous bike! Very fine work! I like the colors and the lighting!

I could resist to make a WS! Very nice theme! Take a look! ;)

Wow, Frank! All I can say this is really a beauty. Excellent capture of this vintage bike....:O)

I like the soft earthy colours and dark background of this shot. The bike is a great subject. Doesn't look too comfortable compared to today's models..LOL Very interesting to see all the old parts but it looks in pretty good shape for it's age. Nicely presented.

Wow! What an interesting bike. Looks like the rider was a cowboy at one time. The leather accessories are great. The image is so sharp and clear Frank.Your Canon certainly takes great photos, and perfect for the new theme.

I know nothing about bikes but the colors in this shot is very attractive, excellent shot, well done!

A very old bike, I like it. Very nice picture, I like your choice, very well done!
Best regards
Guy

Superbe photo de cette Harley Davidson... TRès bien fait Frank...

The soft colors work the military subject well here and I like the border effect (I usually hate frames).

Very nice captured, this motorcycle is a real antique, well preserved and your photo is very sharp and with natural colors, showing from a low level the details of this machine.
