Taken at our local Harley-Davidson dealership. Would appreciate your reaction as I'm not sure about this one. Thanks in advance.

I'm surprised no one has commented on this yet... I love it!

The out-of-focus bike in the background is a great touch, and the cigar adds to the "tough guy" image. This could be a still shot from a movie! Good eye!

I like the composition for the most part but I think a little more of the 'patch' would have been better......the blurred bike in the background is cool. The major thing that would make this pic very cool, would have been a real patch club member instead of a wannabe one. The clarity and colour of the pic is very good, well shot.

The yellow green in the background don't work for me... I am thinking a b/w conversion might be worth a try as composition is interesting.

Gosh, Croasdail, I never would have thought of converting to b/w since I like color so much. But out of curiosity I took your advice and did the conversion. Here's the result. Surprise, surprise: I like it better than the color version! Thanks for the tip. And thanks to everyone else for the kind words.

Very nice shot in colour or B&W. I personally prefer the colour.
