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.

if there were a bit more contrast in this picture, it would be awesome!

Thanks for C & C

Nice shot!

Lovely idea, but the sparkles are blown, and the cake too dark.

I actually rather enjoy this shot

Revised image by reducing blowouts and increasing shadows with some curves adjustment.

This is a really pretty shot, but "white" doesn't seem so evident/prominent

Have to agree, the sheets are probably white, but could just as well be a pastel colour.

This is the original image without desaturation. The light is natural but I was predicting comments about too much light.

nice cottage type shot, but I agree with kyricom, and friiskiwi.

I like it much better in colour, much nicer mood.

gud luck ........

it's really grainy in high res. A simple Gaussian blur would have fixed most of it.
