This was actually a shop window in Liverpool.

I forget what they were selling, but, even on a boring shopping trip (apologies to Mrs Freeway!) if you look around, there's always something to catch your eye.

The subject matter, (apart from causing shivers to an aging biker!) lent itself to black and white with a high grain filter.

Indoor photography is not always easy and you often face lighting problems.
This a well composed and is a good clear image with a good depth of field so the items behind the scooter are clear.
The guitar adds balance and it really stands out adding an extra element of nostalgia.

Its the photographic geniuses again. (see my comment to Caimain's pic).

Meanwhile, I say, Mod miracle document, testament of the time, silvery silvery, very silvery are these images, love the sharp definition. A few Mods were having a reunion in Brighton the other day, lurking about near Quadrophenia Alleyway.

They are very lurky beasties!

Ha! just another load of constipated cocoa cans

I don't think those bikes will be able to get up to much of a speed while in a shop window.

I can hear them begging, "Buy me and let me run free."

Is it the high grain or does it really say "MORON SCOOTER" on the side of the wheel?

Love the photo. Well done.

Professionally, I work a lot with shiny curved surfaces (metal, just in case someone gets the wrong idea), where reflections can make or break a photo. (More often break, I must admit)

I like the extra depth created by the semi-transparent reflection of the striped bag and shirt.

Motor scooter, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was...
