His 'other' love

This is a 2002 Dyna Wide Glide Custom Harley. It is my husband's first and other love. He had it before he met me and I'm sure he'll still have it long after I'm gone. I don't ride with him anymore, I'm sure you can see why! The 'passenger' seat feels like a tiny cement pad and as I've gotten older, I've decided that I don't like bugs in my teeth. I can see why he won't give her up for one that would be more comfortable for both of us, it's because she's prettier than me! I used a watercolor pencil effect on this, partly because I wanted to try it on something and also because he had cleaned it so well that it was way too shiny! Thanks for views and comments my friends!

His first love! I can well understand why you don't want to ride sitting on the pad. A light kick now and the when passing by may help you to feel better Tina :) Nice shot of this super machine.

I don't know what the original looked like but the watercolor effect is great on this.

I'm in a story both funny and cruel. But am I the hero or am I the fool?

Blue with chrome - a classic combination! What I like most is how you retained all the shiny reflections in the chrome yet other surfaces show the pencil work you finished. Good job! And as what happens to me with highly reflective surfaces, you managed to not capture a self-portrait in the process. (I totaled a bike when I was 17, no helmet, walking away with a few scratches and a burn, promising to never ride again...)

my best images happen by accident. there is so much to be seen in the minutiae surrounding us that we often miss the very best.

It's a beautiful bike and shot, Tina . You did a great job with the watercolor pencil effects. Why don't you two switch the seat out , get a helmet with a face shield and you can ride like the wind Girl !!

I know a side car takes away from the manly Harley, but stand your ground Tina.
What a good shot.

Oh, well, we all have our hobby's. I'm glad yours is photography. The pen and ink you applied gives this a really fine look. Makes the subject more interesting too.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Hello Tina...This is indeed a very good closeup showing plenty of detail and colour in this beautiful machine...Tell your husband that I used to own 650 Triumph Boneville in the early sixties and that was a beatiful machine as well...Well done...All the best to you Tina...Mick.
