Hardly A Harley

Richard bought me a Harley cap at a garage sale - to go with my new bike!



"Felicity" texture courtesy of Kim Klassen.

Topaz filter added to original photo of bike; background removed from hat photo then placed in this one.  Color removed from "Felicity" texture; Layer Mask added; Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer added.  Correct camera distortion vignette added.

    Such a great image, and thank you for sharing the recipe! I should do more color removing from textures, would really increase their usability..

    Wonderful image! I had to study it for awhile because at first I thought it was a trompe l'oeil painting. Great editing!

    Thank you so much for joining in Photo Feedback. I really love the look that the processing in Topaz gave this image. The shadows on the garage door are a bit distracting, but overall a beautiful photo and lovely piece of art.

    Do you have safe trails to ride where you live?
    That saddle looks so comfy and the frame reminds me of the courier bikes of the twenties.

    I can never resist a bicycle photograph! This reminds me that while there is wintry slush today, spring will indeed soon be here!

    What a cool bike! I love that you have very dark and very light in this photo. The contrast really works. To me the color of the Harley hat is a bit stracting. It might be better in B&W. Also, the front tire is slightly clipped. Love the vintage treatment to the photo. It really gives a timeless quality to it. Nice job!

    Such an interesting image. I love the textures you captured. I think it is a great capture, but I might like to see it from a little farther back - so there is a bit of room on the left side. It is a beautiful image! Well done ;)

    You need to take us a shot of you on your bike with that hat on your head. It will be fab. I have searched thru all of my mail from Kim and cannot find the link to “felicity” to save my soul. I wanted to post this week, but could not put my hands on the texture. Guess I am just getting old! Love your shot and the texture. genie
