Picture is real, just HDR image after in PS. Can post original if needed


Just curious why do you think shadow is odd?


Here is original of same pic before HDR


And here is a different shot at same location. If I was going to PS a pic I would have put the bike on a crazy mountain with a windmill

Great pic Kozy, I just didn't want someone to take a pic with a fake *** garden windmill. We have a few big wind farms around and they're pretty cool to ride past.

Of course it looks photoshopped! It is! The shadow looks wierd because there are obviously clouds in front of the son, which diffuse it and create large soft shadows. If you're looking for a sharp outlined shadow, you'd have to wait until there are no clouds in front of the sun. I'm a photographer, I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

And Kozy, that's a nice pic, photoshopped or not. Not let's see some farm equipment. A farmer's daughter would be nice too.

Exactly!!! I have done other photoshops before so that is why to me it looks photoshoped and probably like you said it could a combination of the HDR and how the light was coming through the clouds



however beautiful bike on the best background ever
