The scooter seems to look as if it came into a place it shouldn't be and is posing for the camera. I really like this photo.

He even sent me a picture to prove it. This just goes to show how terrible I am at guessing things about people. Seriously, I usually even misjudge the sex of most writers and photographers unless I know their name or I've seen a picture of them. That's how good I am at this kind of stuff.

Like Susheel said, the scooter is a bit dark, but overall I like this.

These areas did have detail in them, but I liked the outcome when I pushed them to full black. I think it makes the highlights on the scooter stand out a little better by simplifying the area. If you look, you can see several places that have blue/gray sweeping lines -- like on the plastics and the rims. I haven't printed this one yet, so I don't know how it will look on paper. Good point about printers having a hard time with pure blacks though. You’re right, the darks are pretty blocked out on the scooter and along the bottom of the image.

Personally I'd have made the darks less 'blocked out' as I think it tends to lose way too much detail for my liking (a lot of my post processing ends up with CMYK printing which does not reproduce blocked out shadows all that well), but I guess this works just fine for RGB.

I wouldn't have thought to photograph this. The saturation and color really bring the image to life. Nicely seen and processed. I wouldn’t have thought to photograph this.
