What I like may not be or rarely is a great photo in others opinions.
Played around with exposure settings. I like this one of this bike. The only think I don't like is the way the stand propped up the rear wheel.

This may be my best shot of this bike.

All my pics are taken with a point and shoot that is limited in what I can achieve, not that I am a good photographer. It's an on and off practice. Consequently, the quality suffers.
