I have better equipment then you, what are you talking about?
You know nothing about bike photography.
The front and back disc brakes fall directly onto the rule of thirds grid.

Equipment doesn't mean shit in photography. A talented person with a 70 year old camera is going to produce better results than some idiot playing with a 2 grand camera, and a few grands worth of equipment.

Doesn't matter if he doesn't know anything about bike photography, the fact that the top handlebars go out of frame really makes the photo look shit.

Are there other bike photos like yours, that have the handle cut off slightly? Just kind of wondering, I tried searching google, and I didn't find any.... Hmm...

I'm not being mean here, I'm just saying that when I look at your photo, it bugs me. Try posting this one on thephotoforum maybe and see what they say?

Here's my bike, this photo was taken in 2003 - lol!

Contrary to what others have said, I dislike the lightning, the picture looks too complicated with the harsh shadows. I don't know if it is available to you, but how about using a nice bright backdrop, or something that will soften the shadows? I think it would improve the picture.

I like the composition of your second shot, Chantal.

Yup. You got better equipment. Sorry you are the pro, I do not know anything about bike photography.
I just replied like you did in that other topic.

Here is a picture of my bike. What do you guys think ?



(Look I cropped it at the handlebar, since theblackrose66 know more than me about bike photography I think it is the way you do to make it look professional)
