•  Support Let me support this picture before I regret, the composition is fascinating! But there are some minor flaws: the image is a little grainy and the reflected foot shouldn't be there (as a matter of fact the picture would be better without any reflections...) - Alvesgaspar 19:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral Not bad but the view is a bit too tight for me. ...and there are the flaws that Alvesgaspar mentioned. The photo also seems a bit too cold to me--AngMoKio 20:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Support That gives the name Monochrome a new meaning! A good example for reflecting surfaces. --SvonHalenbach 21:43, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose difficult to see what's what (only the title makes it clear that it is a motorcycle); would have been better with less cropping - MPF 16:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  •  Info That's the whole idea of the image. --Atoma 21:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose This would be a lot better without the reflections and less cropping --Digon3 17:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose I do not see anything especially valuable about it. Freedom to share 18:37, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

•  Support This is better with the hint of color, not with the black & white Cary "Bastiq▼e" Bass ^demandez 16:22, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Edited version (right) - not featured

•  Support &&  Info After the comments above I decided to upload a new version. The foot in the lower-left and the character in the upper-right (me) are gone (greetings to Ulead Photoimpact). The whole photo got black & white for more impact. Thanks for your reviews, and dear Digon3 and MPF, FYI the tight cropping is the whole idea of the image, I shot it this way to look abstract. --Atoma 22:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Support now it is even more classic. --SvonHalenbach 22:58, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Support good work norro 23:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Support my reasons were given above, better now - Alvesgaspar 00:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Support, there's so much impact which isn't given in the non-edited version. Awesome! Nzgabriel 07:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Due to black & white. Olegivvit 10:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Support --MichaelMaggs 15:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, still can't bring myself to support; also ditto to Olegivvit - MPF 21:40, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose fake reflections sorry, still don't like it. Lycaon 09:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  •  Question Hum ? --Atoma 11:49, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
    •  Comment e.g. I see the chain twice, but the guy only once. that is not possible... ;-) Lycaon 12:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
    •  Info You got tricked by the perspective, if you are talking about the two feet I removed in the lower left, this is a 3rd person, which doesn't appear in the upper right reflections! It was a friend of mine standing near by. The guy you see in the upper right reflection near the chain was pretty far away. Round-shapes reflect things in a very strange way, you should try this next time you see a motorcycle of this type. --Atoma 01:09, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
      •  CommentI would agree if we didn't have the original on the left: I don't think there's any third person involved, the guy is dressed the same way, stands on the same spot and in front of the same chain. Even though I wouldn't (and don't) necessarily miss him on the right (yes, because round shapes tend to reflect in bizarre ways), Lycaon is right: It's not possible. --Ibn Battuta 06:41, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
        •  Comment &&  Info As odd as this may appear, I am the author of the photo, and I took the photo, neither of you did. The setup is still very clear in my mind. The third guy was my roommate -- and I know him better than you guys -- and he was there if I tell you. You're both mistaking badly. Reflections, reflections... --Atoma 00:01, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

 Oppose Even though tight cropping is the whole idea of the image. I still do not like the reflections or B&W--Digon3 23:12, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
