Flexible yes but not that much
- entry disqualified. When I first glanced at the photos I was immediately drawn to what I presumed were ploughed fields. The shot without the yellow markings is better too.
I was going to go up to a spot I like near a forest where I can also get a good horizon shot but decided the planting pattern on the conifers was too regimented which was a giveaway.
Sorry "The ferret"
oh well, at least I got in some nice miles on a great motorccycle
LOL - well, on the positive side, you still have a shot at this, Ferret. I'd go down by the river, possible to the ferry launch or other boat launch. then try to get as blurred a background of the opposite bank as possible. And then continue to Scioto Ribber for lunch. Tev might still reject the pick, but at least you'd get a ride...and a steak.

which is the real reward! You never know, you might be the only entry and you will have to be declared the winner!
Not important to win, only important to play

Indeed, good eye Tev.
I guess patterns in the field created by aliens wouldn't be natural either.
Sorry tommymck this fails to meet the conditions of the photo in that the bike can be in no more than a 1/3 of the horizontal frame. But it is a cracking shot AND BIKE!

Oh well... You motivated me to do some light trail riding today at any rate. Around these parts if anything but forest is visible it's a sign of people. It was all forest from the Chesapeake to the Ohio river.
