Suzuki GSX-R in HDR

[yummy_waffles]

The first image was the day I brought the bike home - shot with a Canon G9.

The other images were taken after months of time spent in the garage. - shot with a Canon 20D.

*I'm pretty sure most of you prefer the original look of the bike, but 'the after', suits my style a bit more :)

Except for the crappy background, poor framing, & the fact that you cut off the bars, #1 looks pretty good. Nice colors & good shadow detail.
#4 looks good, too. Crop it just behind the bike to have more room at the front of it than at the back. Give it some room to move into?

Thanks for the advice. I agree, that first one is distracting overall. Unfortunately, it was the only 'before shot' I have.

the black on green looks way better than the originla ;) sick ****...not realy a bike person...but i like it...

[TW0R]

The 4th one looks real good. Really sharp and I couldnt tell it was hdr, which is good.

[DEIVIONCRX]

beautiful mean lookin bike... and i love the photography work... i like the bbg but i wouldnt have used it with your bike ... i would have gone with something that didnt distract your attention off the bike as much like a white warehouse ... great photos though :D

[yummy_waffles]

thanks guys! once spring hits, i'll find a less distracting background to work with :)

Number 4 is my favorite, nice colors!

I love what you've done with the last one (even if it is some what larger than the 1024 pixel limit) looks great!

Who wants a stock Gixxer? Much better flat :)

[dunkchamp55]

is that a "taylor made" exhaust or custom? looks killer none the less

[TwistedGray]

I like it but I'd do without all the impalers...

I like it but I'd do without all the impalers... I don't think you mean that. "Vlad' was an impaler. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlad_III_the_Impaler) :D

taylormade! not a great exhaust for those long rides as there's too much vibration causing numbness in the hands :)

Did you use vinyl wrap or paint? Bike looks great.

Yeah, the spikes are a bit squidish.

My buddy and I painted the bike. Actually, he did most of the painting, but I did all the sanding and prep work. It came out flawless!

Then I finished it off w/ some custom vinyl decals (matte black with gloss black outline).

Thanks for the comments guys!
