Going to get one of these blown up 4x3 foot, but I cant decide which?

I like this one because its been my avatar for years, and its usable for years as you cant reaaly tell what year/model of bike it is so wont age (of course we all know it an SD)

This one is cool, but not sure if my helmet would be too high on the frame to wrap it around the canvas:

Then there is this one, I like because no one else is on the track, almost knee down, colourful and flowing:

So please vote and will post will pic once I have it on my wall.

Might get it done in black and white.....hmmmm

Number 1

It would look very cool indeed if the background were desaturated.

I'm with Klinck - it somehow seems more dynamic and fits the page better.

Gotta be number 2, its almost a perfect shot, foreground blurred, background blurred, wheels/tyres blurred which gives the correct sensation of speed, the other two you can see the wheels are almost frozen, you can see the tread pattern on the tyres...
plenty of space in front of the bike is good to, the other two really dont compare unless you like looking at your arse

You should shoot GOGO a PM or e-mail and asked him if he could do something to your picture 1 similar to his avatar- which was a pic to start. He had a website where he offered pics and such, but I can't find it today.

Well I must say number 1 is my fave, but needed second opinion.

Just need to decide what effect to go for if any, had a look at GoGo's his looks good cos he is pulling an awesome wheelie but dont think it would suit the photo.

I say three. Shows more of a story and gives a feeling of motion and confidence
Looks the most professional also.
Are they to costly to do all three?

Bought a canvas on a frame (for painting) just need to get it printed on a canvas for about £25 off net then just need to wrap it round.

All 3 is a bit much, got plenty of other action shos from other sports I could do, got a blank white wall needs filling and what better wasy?

I voted number 1, but I like number 2 as well. They are both awesome pics! Number 3 is also a very nice photo, but I just hate the look of round akra's on the sd.

I think no 1 looks the best, with the shape of the cans, knee down, even the tyre tread sets the whole pic as the best one there!!

No worries dude.

Sent the original (number 1) and a couple of the arty ones to the guy, the arty ones are not high res so seeing if he can do something similar with the original.

Also I cant believe this is most blatent of blatent picture whoring threads ever, and no ones even mentioned it
