Job Lot
Posted By: Kerrowdown, 01-05-2020, 04:42 AM

Either the owner has a thing about Orange or it was a paint job lot... both car and bike same colour (see reflection).

The colors work well and I like the bit of framing.

I like this photo very much. The striking orange is the attention grabber, but once that settles on the brain (at least my brain) the cool composition - the contrast between bike and background - comes to the fore.

It took me a minute, but I see it now. I am with Sailor, your composition is excellent!

I'm sure the answer to this question is both, the owner has a thing for orange that probably didn't match the original colour for either the bike or the car and s/he decided to get both painted at the same time.

I can't explain the random bits of orange on the iron railings, though. Another fine example of Kerrowdown's sharp eye!

Your eye is typically keen . Orange is the main denominator . The balustrade is an example of metal craftsmanship that enhances the composition.

It is a bit orange for me, but on the other hand, orange and black (seat) are the Harley colours...except this doesn't look like any Harley factory colour I've seen. Nice pix and that vintage fishtail exhaust is interesting.

You could well be right.

I'm afraid that's the rust getting to work on the cast iron... the same as the rear brake disc.

Thank you for that.

No it wasn't a Harley.

The paint work was to way too twinkly... it's a debadged something else, possibly some sort of Japanese wannabe.
