RRBBO13 Fisher CR-7 ...OddJob Award Creation vid pg 9 !

[OddJob]

Alright guys and gal, it's that time of year that some of us have been waiting months for; the Finished Builds thread has been posted~!

I'm done with the Fisher CR-7 custom restoration, and I took some final photos today at Battle Creek Park, another trail riding area in my neighborhood. Having some trouble deciding on El Fine' photo for the header of my Finished thread / Voting thread photo.

One cool thing about this forum is you can always get feedback on your build, and it's helpful in the process. So, I'm asking you to cast 2 votes, yes 2, for your favorite photos that I should consider using for my Final Photo.

I appreciate your time and creative input! Please pic 2 of the following photos. Just indicate the # of the photo in your comments.

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

It looks like there's an arch in the background.

Since when do we only post one photo in the finished thread?

 

[hammer mechanic]

I like #3

5 and 3 for me.

Is there a similar shot from #1s position from a front - side angle? That little recessed hole in the rock is kinda cool.

 

[OddJob]

#5 and #5

I knew somebody would do that. That works!

Dave, I'm going to post more than one. But I was looking for favorites for my Final / Voting photo.

Hey, not really a front 3/4 angle. But I zoomed in and got a closer shot, see if you like this better.

Hey guys, thanks for your votes! Looks like #5 followed by #3 are favorites so far. I did a close up version of another shot I had taken this morning. Really love that soft limestone walled ravine I was riding today.

Give this one a try....

The problem with pic 1 is that the aluminum part of your frame blends right into the background so you don't see the frame much.

Thats why I pic 2 you can see the bike best in that pic

OK. That Irish bike in finished only had the one pic, so I thought maybe something changed during my year off.

 

[OddJob]

Okay, so we had a good number of folks pick photos #3 and #5.
Thanks to @kingfish254 @Falstaff @deorman @gowjobs @hammer mechanic @Scribble @RustyGold @metalchewy @HuffnPuff @Brian macumber @Glen @Dr. Tankenstein for your votes!

I had some advice that the coloring of the background of the limestone wall was taking away from the detail of the aluminum frame. I can see that too.

So, going away from my 'esthetic' choice of the limestone back drop, check out these two new photos from today. Feedback on either of these is much appreciated!

I like it in the grassy field. More contrast, and less in the background to distract from that beautiful MTB.
