Photographer’s Note
The moped is a popular transport chice in Italy, and as I've already uploaded a couple of images of girls on mopeds I thought I'd upload this example, without a rider :)
I know nothing about the make or model here, it was simply parked outside a cafe in Verona. One of those 'I hope this doesn't violate the TOS' postings!
I had to crop this one down quite a bit after resizing, in oder to get the image size under 200kb (it's 198kb). A little bit of contrast added & some USM.

A very very common sight in Italy. Some people on these are just totally crazy drivers. I like the background too, with the colourful brick. TFS

Hi Peter,
Superb clarity of detail with good lighting and shadow effects. I like the textured, layered wall in the background, the ancient look of which contrasts well with the shiny space age modernism of the moped. In this sense the impact of the shot is greater than if there were a rider present. Well captured, Peter.

Your title serves to remind us of your previous posts with the girl. There is a marked contrast between the new moped and the old wall behind.

Hi Peter,
the girl of your previous post has parked your scooter and she has gone away to shopping. This composition has very good quality of image, she is very clean, and background shows all the details to us of the texture of the stone wall. I think that the photo could be in the catalogue of the manufacturer of these bikes, since it is a very graphical and detailed image, we could buy it when seeing it in your image. Good work.
Regards,
Josep
