I was lucky enough to walk by when she was posing on this bike and was only able to get one good shot off. Here it is after a really quick edit. The back ground was very distracting.

The model and bike look great but the gray background isn't doing much for me. Are you considering a different background at all? Also, the cut-out around the wheels is a bit distracting.

I completely agree with you on the background. It was at a car show and it was for a paint booth so they had tons of tanks on the wall behind her. I am trying to figure out a better background for it.

And yes i need to fix my "cut-out" of the bike a lot.

That would look better if the bike cast a shadow.

And yes i need to fix my "cut-out" of the bike a lot.

Thanks Photoguy took your advice on the lasso tool and this came out a lot better.

OK, if the shadow is behind the bike, it won't also be in front of the tire toward the camera, right? ;)

I didn't even notice that with the shadows. Thank you for constructive critism. I don't learn if i don't make mistakes, and people are kind enough with contructive critism.

Thanks
