Been awhile since I've posted. I've tried to keep up with at least lookin at the new Images, even though I didn't have time to comment. Some really incredible images and compositions since I been gone!! I was out in Houston for 3 weeks, involved in the restoration of power to the people of Centerpoint Energy in the Houston, Baytown, Galviston area. What incredible "Texas Hospitality" and friendship, even under such adverse conditions. Anyway...glad to be home. Took me a week to "get back to normal"!! :-) :-) 16-7's will wear on ya. A couple days ago, my lovely wife and I went to a "Speed" show at one of our local convention centers. I know this might be a bit "Busy" for alot of ya, but, bein a motorcycle freak...it just tripped me out! Thought I'd do a spread on some the cooler Chopper engines I saw that day. Good to be home, and thanks for takin the time to have a look.

Quite honestly, Greg, steel and chrome don't excite me, but these engines are so shiny, ornate and colorful, I had to take a look. I like the way you used one as a faded background. You did a fine job of this layered grouping. Good to see you back and nice to know the folks down South have their power back on.

Very nice collage. About time you posted something. I guess Texas was pretty messy!

A well thought out composition and presentation. I am a sucker for crisp details, not to mention the colours, and you nailed them all here Greg. Nice to see you post again and great job on this submission.

Great post Greg. Nice to see you back from Texas. Yes, 16 hours a day, seven days a week for three weeks, would wear one down. I imagine the choppers looked good.

Nice R&R.

Ooooooooo this is nice!!! I love how you have the cycle as the background and then all those wonderful inserts. I've always loved the cycles...and the gorgeous way they look and are put together. If I could be a "motorcycle mama" I would be!! But my health prevents that pretty much. But when I'm driving my Cougar, every time I see a Harley coming at me, I roll down my window and listen to that awesome "rumbble"...thank you for a great posting, it will be on my desktop..got any more photos of the cycles?? Please share..Verena

I'm relieved it isn't a picture of dentures or something. LOL. Really nice collage you have put together of the chopper engines. They don't look a bit like the engine on the 1975 Honda 350 I had years ago. He he. Thanks for sharing this, Greg. Nice to see you posting again. You work too hard.

If you have a garden please feed the birds this winter, & supply drinking water not ice, it's so important. . . . Help dwindling bird numbers survive.
