Motorbike photo in the everglades, CC welcome

[Todd Good]

I shot this photo a while back and recently PP it a bit to intensify the saturation. I included a naked shot and a framed version, let me know how you guys feel about the photo in general and then how you feel about the frame I added. Thanks, enjoy.....

I like the feel of the pic and the lighting overall but I will give you my nits...

The frame has to go as you're cutting the head of the subject off.
Clone out the side stand it looks like its part of the foot.
Skin color is too pinkish.
Wear proper riding gear - it makes a more credible image I think.

I like the location and the facial expression. Overall I think a solid effort.

I see someone that ran from the cops. Found a spot to lay low for a while, and now hoping he can make it home.
Not feeling the frame. Probably only because it cuts into his hair, and the rear tire.

Thanks, I appreciate the nits, thats why I enjoy CC from others, you always overlook your own work. Thanks for the advice.

Your almost right on with "ran from the cops", but no cops were near where this image was taken.

I completely agree with what you said about the frame, thanks.

Like that shadows/highlights tool in photoshop, huh? THere's a halo around the rider's head.

Your frame has potential, but cutting off the bottom of the tire and the top of his head doesn't do it for me.

Yeah I did use the shadows/highlights tool, it just brings great color into the photo, but you can tell it PS'd.

Yes I agree on the frame cutting his head and tire off, that doesn't really work well.

Thanks
