This has massive potential, but I think with the bike so bright the viewer expects the background to be brighter too. I'd tone down the bike a bit smile
I'd personally tone down the bike a bit too if it was me lighting, however from what I've seen I think its a bit of Phil's signature style to make the highlights on the subject vividly bright relative to the background so it goes with your previous work.
I did try photoshopping some volumetric light on there to suggest a bright light source aimed at the bike. But it didn't look good enough to go with
I may be going against the grain, but I like it the way it is and think the lighter bike on the darker background really works.

Yep, next to Barracuda (the cheap off licence) and the water park. Top photo location just a shame I have no idea how to take a proper photo, especially with an IPhone 4!

Probably technically not that great, but I took this at the Le Mans and really like it:

Can't follow Chebs pic with any of these, but I'll post anyway.

Took a few pics of my car on top of my work's multi-storey, not sure which ones I like, but any C+C welcome smile
