I'd like to see a recrop of this shot, keeping all the front wheel section in, as well as the foreground beneath the front wheel. The sepia effect could be enhanced a just little more to age the image even further. It is an excellent study.

Who knows, I may have a sudden rush of available time (cough) or overwhelming inspiration and still complete the project within the 12 months, although the realist in me says "you're dreamin' mate" ... Whatever, However and Whenever, fruition SHALL be reached (and I have it on good advice that Fruition is a rather nice place, particularly in Spring) :o)
