STORMY WEATHER (trees)
Glad I was already in my car before the heavens opened. It went incredibly dark, but it didn't last for very long, and the sun was soon out again.

LUCY IN THE SKY
I just messed about with the photograph of a luscious, large green tree against a nice blue background with the clouds, but I decided that was boring, so this is what I did to it.

INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT OR INTENTIONAL BLUR
I'm going to be trying this again because I rather like the outcome of this on my lavender in the garden, which has finished for the summer now, so I couldn't go and do it again.

I dig the exposure and tones. His face is lit nicely.
Unfortunately, the helmet glare is quite stark and detrimental though, as-are the pose and expression. Do you have one at this focal length where he looks like he’s on the bike staring down the camera? That might be cool.
Also, the branding on his shirt is distracting. Unless it’s a product shot, might be better to clone / go with a solid shirt next time.
Thanks Robert!
The Glare is strong and distracting as you suggested. My idea was to emphasize the glossiness of the helmet, ended up being distracting.
What would you suggest for the glare, Reduce or totally remove?
As for the expressions, I believe my fried was a little uncomfortable, will get it better in future shots. New shots are on the way will post them as soon as I can.
Agree on the shirt, unfortunately it was the guy's call. Tried talking him into wearing a biker's jacket, he didn't like the idea, chose this instead.
good
