I like all 3 of the Dutch biker photos, and I adore the title you found for the series

the photos could use a little more photoshop polishing maybe (darkening the blacks etc.), but that is just operfectionism, the photos itself are great !!

but the BORDER !!! arrggghhh - I know it's all a matter of tast, but please reconsider the border, it's ORANGE and heavy and takes so much of the picture away !! It's a CRIME.

the photos are a fain black and white, the bikes in it have a lot of filigrane lines, the fat double striped borders you use just kill the pictures. I strongly suggest you use something lighter, complementing the picture instead of overpowering it.

Thank you so much for the comment /critique. I wanted to leave the photos as much "in original condition" as possible, but I agree a touch up with photoshop would not hurt.

The borders, the borders. It's always a dilemma, I know.

In these pictures, there really is a reason for these borders.... the colour Orange is the colour of the Royal family of the Nertherlands. They decent from an ancient family called Oranje-Nassau ... The Oranje being Orange, and thus the orange colour in the borders....

... maybe it's the thick black in between the orange ones that does make it a bit .... hmmmm..... clumsy?

I'll promise to reconsider

thx again for your comment
