Yer Mitch is a bit of a legend with the camera, nice work Mitch

Another way to make your photos stand out is by choosing a good location...like the example below.

wow, where is that?

great background

Law,
That is table mountain in Cape Town. The bloke who took the photo was too close to the east side of the mountain so could not get the whole mountain in the shot...

my very weak attempt!!

That's got some nice contrasts in there.

What colour is your bike? I'm guessing red or blue because of the grey midtone.

B & W images can be difficult with bikes as many of the more exotic paint jobs simply don't contrast well in greyscale. Likewise even a 'solid' colour bike can be lost against a background that doesn't have the contrast you have with that shot.
