Here is a shot of a bike on the road less traveled.

I know the bike isn't moving, but it's almost always better to have the bike (or whatever) "facing" into the frame rather than heading out of it. That's usually true of both stationary and moving inanimate objects as well as things that do actually have a face. People, animals and inanimate objects facing out of the frame is the preferred option only in very specific circumstances. Usually all that's required is that the centre of the main subject (person, animal or inanimate object) is slightly off-centre leaving slightly more room in front of the subject than behind it. That is most likely to be true of moving subjects.

I like everything but the centering. I think there should be more open space at the front end of the bike. Very good technique.

I like this too, and the fact that the bike is facing out of the picture doesn't bother me. It looks like it is ready to head down the road to who knows where. I might just crop the left a bit for overall balance. Just my thoughts.

Linda From Maine Loc: Yakima, Washington

The front wheel slightly angled towards the brightly lit curve in the road says to me that bike and rider (just out of the frame, lol) are soon to be on their adventure. The details of the motorcycle are very nicely captured, with the reflections on their shiny surfaces a pleasing aspect.

The vignette feels heavy and unnecessary IMO.

I really like this, Greg. I like that the bike is pointed toward the direction the road is going. I love the dappled light .. dappled light can be challenging. The reflections in the mirrors is nice. The depth of field is effective in keeping the attention on the bike. The only criticism I might have is that I'd rather see more room on the right and less on the left if there was a choice.

Nightski beat me to it, but I also really like the dappled light. Dappled light can work against you are totally enhance the image. In this case it creates a nice mood of the bike taking a rest in the cool shade.
