Penny for your thoughts?
I tried incorporating my bike to the usual landscape scene. Is it a product photo now?
What's your general critique of the image?

The Sun and the Moon: Edited to add last photo
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

Sterling in silhouette
I held a lighting workshop recently. Sterling was the model. I rarely shoot silhouettes but I wanted to incorporate that arch into a shot. Backlighting became an obvious choice.

Hi,
In all honestly it’s not a product shot, it’s not bad image just doesn’t fit the genre, to be a product shot you would need to make the bike the main focus of the image at the moment it’s more a photograph of a tree with a cool looking sky, that happens to have a bike in it.
My advice would to reshoot the bike and get closer to the actual product and fill more of the frame with the bike and have the background there just for reference and be more subtle in nature with what the location is.
Hope that helps.
