The lines and bold colors of the helmet are so powerful-- perfect for this kind of shot. --Nancy

Great add Mike, I really like the strong colors, they really caught my eye.
I'd definitely stop to read this one if I saw it in a magazine. Linda L.

Nicely done Mike! I like the bold shapes and colors. Melanie (mlynn)

Neat (and effective) ad, MFC, from the gradient background to the strong contrasting colors of the helmet. The "serious" comes through loud and clear. Like it a lot. Bev

I agree w/Joeschmoe re: the white text being lost in the image. How about using the name 'Wasp' to compliment the image? Bumble Bee seems a little understated a name compared to the mean look of the helmet. Just a thought. I like both of your submissions to this challenge. - Simon Bennett.

Striking image. I like your use of bold contrasting colors and lighting. I like the black text a the bottom, but the white at the top gets lost a little in the image. JoeSchmoe

Great contrasting colors. Very effective ad.

Ooohhh! I really like this version. Still very bold composition, but now I think the test is just as bold.---Deb

Thanks, ZoomBoy & Willem. I made some changes based on your comments. I changed the phrasing around after adding a model name... and I substituted the word "serious" for the word "mean" in the one original phrase I left nearly intact. The fictitious model name, "The Bumble Bee",... seemed to me to advertise this particular helmet's "fat", round-like body shape & black/yellow color scheme/pattern better. The general message would now be that, "If you're like all the other serious bikers who talk "gear" today, you should really consider buying a Giro helmet, like the new "Bumble Bee", to help get the most out of your biking experience." What do you think? Thanks. MFC

Like that black/yellow switch in the background opposite to the switch in the helmet. Zoomboy is right that the "mean" part doesn't come out strong, it is to round and clean. A different angle, some mud maybe ? Willem

I like the idea, but I would have used a slightly different crop to enhance the "mean" of the helmet. Black and yellow - that's agressive! Well done! ZoomBoy
