my lens choice is up to apple...and the lens they decided to use in the ipone4, hence the distortion....
i normally shoot with a d90 with 17-50mm f2.8, but i didn't have it on me at the time....!

The solution is to step back from the bike and shoot from afar. Then take your image to a photo editing software and crop. Also line your bike parallel to the wall. Nice looking bike.

There is something about colored tires that turns me off.

This is the hot or not thread. When some bozo posts a picture so grainy and distorted that you can't tell what the bike even looks like in person, it's NOT HOT.

photo geek huh?
someone criticized me for an iphone pic i snapped...and if you cannot tell what my bike looks like in person based on the pic i posted, check out dr. booth...he's done over 121,000 lasik surgeries so far- he may be able to help you.
i thought this was the hot r not BICYCLE thread.....not a dpreview forum.....
but yeah.....it does hurt being called a geek from a guy sticking his tongue out while wearing a sleeveless jersey in his avatar.

1). just do black tires. To me, colored tires are something a rookie does to help make his bike flashy. Like a 16 year old that puts, "Powered by honda" on their front windshield.
2) the saddle and bar tape are slightly off from matching. Not a big deal at all but it stands out to me. (who is gonne see it when your sitting anyway)
These are just my opinions. That does not take away of how nice your bike is though!

I think the photo itself (Not to get to picky here) would be much more appealing if it didn't have so much contrast. The depth of field is good, but you loose the front of the bike and some detail. (I know this isn't a photography forum though)

I would honestly remove the wheel stickers, they detract from the rest of the bike and their color does not match. Otherwise, hot.
Spoke too soon (rental wheels) Ditch them, get a set that match.
