Hey, cool, it really does look like a biker. I was half expecting to see a kid on a tricycle. I think your new processing style fits your subject well here. Good job.

I love the hard shadow and how it plays into the composition, adding depth and dimension. The hard grain and coarse textures add to the feeling of the image, which is tough and rugged. The face is not lost in hard shadow, but preserves the sense of personality and humanity. The arm lines and overalls both lead us back to the subject.
The subject is close to the side, which lends to a feeling of uneasiness, very much in keeping with the spirit of the piece. Simple composition, but extremely effective.

I really, really like this one. Gritty and pithy.
