agrees.

I'm easy, I think this has it's own style and I like it.

Well done author

You call it old?

these are hand made engineering bricks, they are quite old, maybe around 80 or 90 years, maybe even a little more.

very nice

how is this a close up?

They're handmade brick that look like they were relayed. It's not unheard of either. Sometimes old bricks are salvaged from old buildings just to get relaid into a wall. People like the old look. You probably could have got closer.

nice image -- like how the central focus makes the mortar lines seem to go in two directions

My understanding on this contest was that it was supposed to focus on One rider. Let me know if I was wrong.

You might be right friiskiwi.

I was under the same impression but after re-reading the guidelines, I find it's still on theme. But you should have made one motorcycle the main focus.

very narrow street, nice.
