Image web site is not loading?

The SXC site occasionally gets too busy and goes down. Try again later.

If you are clicking on the images in the contest thread (http://www.sxc.hu/photo/866033, http://www.sxc.hu/photo/866032 they should take you to the motorcycle photos.

Let me know if you are still unable to access the photos. You will need to register (free registration) in order to download the photos from SXC.

Could someone put the images somewhere that does not farm personal information? Until then I'll just use the low resolution thumb nails. Thanks, MA

Well, That was an exercise in extraction. I'm passing mine on to the copy desk and I just hope I left them enough room to add text. LOL

hi i just want to give a tip to other entrants.

i noticed that all entries didnt get rid of the blue part behind the glass.

How to fix blue on glass
go to the red channel
copy the red channel onto the layers channel
then change mix to "Darken"

How to fix blue parts on bike body
lasso the parts that are blue
go to the green channel (make sure you have the colored image selected)
copy the lasso selection of the green channel
paste into the blue channel
(doesnt work on the blue part on the tank because green channel is different to)

I don't really know much about these new high-powered crotch-rockets, but something in this image struck me as odd. Perhaps one of you, more knowledgeable of such things, could tell me what that thing on the front wheel is. I noticed a couple of entries had removed it. It surely doesn't look like it belongs there to me.

It looks like a pint of Guiness to me :-)
