That is only for us to decide.
It's the picture we're discussing, not the subject matter as such; or at least that’s the direction the post has evolved.
There's nothing clever per se with the above image either technically nor graphically, but it does have some redeeming features, and on balance I personally think it probably satisfies the advertiser’s / art director's / photographer's brief.
It's effectiveness , or otherwise, and has provided more comment than many threads here, some josh about the subjects, some debate the technical merits of the picture.
The symmetry of both the physical image and the suggested reference and symmetry to Karate are not lost on us.
Perhaps you would be kind enough to allow us to decide if your posterior is, as you claim, not too small and not too large, whether the photograph alluded to does has artistic merit and if it does, as you suggest, pass muster as a "clever photo" 'cause I really don't think this is for you to decide for us.
I very much look forward to seeing (a picture) of your bottom - and you can be sure, of this I promise, I've never uttered those words before to another man, nor will again. 🙂
You are Brian Sewell and I claim my £5.
Oh, the the photo is still unremarakbly unremarkable. Monkey flop, if you will.
lol @ this thread. I should've titled it something other than Clever as far as some of you are concerned.
BTW - the DIY copies really funny - thanks for the chuckles 🙂
er... so WTF was your point?
there was no point. other than to wind you up and cause your consternation, which I've successfully achieved 🙂

How clever of you.

Yeah, sure.

The original picture suggests simplicity, on its many levels, again referencing the bike its self, it is a distillation of what we enjoy in our riding, it is an uncomplicated bike, one which you are encouraged to just get on and ride.
Colour can be visually distracting, so I hope you will agree with the desaturation, lending the image a greater parity with the original image.
Now that[b] is[/b] clever.
can anyone smell burning?

yawn-tastic response TLR.
Sorry Ti that was a rhetorical question, to which the answer is no, just because I like the photo does not make it clever.
I fear that you are one of those men my mother warned me about! If I was a little younger you could be fast tracking yourself to the top of the register.
I hope that this extra detail goes someway towards satiating your desire for derriere..... apart from a small birth mark on the left cheek, the symmetry is outstanding.
