Hi Bill,

Quite flashy indeed! Your choice of using f16 produced an ideal DOF. Colors are nice and vibrant. Well done…Jim

Flashy is the word, Bill. Love the colors. I can see why it caught your eye as you headed out the door. Very nice details.

Bill,

This is wonderful. Flashy maybe, beautiful for certain. 😉

Amazing the detail you achieved with just one frame at f/16.

The only suggestion I have would be some cleanup of the pedals, especially the white stuff on the left and some other little specs scattered around. Not sure what’s going on with the limey-green spots in the LLC. Didn’t really notice at first, but now am curious.
