This is 5x7 (from a Technika) but the camera-work is made to look casual by doing a 'pebbles to horizon' front-drop and by under-doing perspective correction to make it look like a Leica shot. It has LF detail, though, as you can see from the inset.
It's built from scratch in a rented studio. Most of the props come from home. There's a weak ray of sunlight right in the axis of a cold window-light for a morning effect.
A detail,
Posted this, among others, in the portrait thread, but it's a 5x7. Falling in love with the camera. I do wish it had front tilt. Still trying to figure out how to use the movements it does have.
Sully, that's a lovely image.
btw, how did you achieve the tone ? Was it film/scan only or toning ?
Thanks Ron...I'm pleased with it. I've been meaning to take that exact picture for about 2 years now and finally everything came together (my friend has been working on that bike for a long time).
It's a scan, I only print digitally. For now anyway.
I stole the toning from Brooks Jensen. I scanned it in grey scale, did all my dodging and sharpening and adjustments in photoshop and then used split toning in lightroom according to this post on Brooks Jensen's blog. First time I tried it but I really like it.

Extremely easy doesn't hurt either.
Thanks!

Nice Sully!!!
I photographed today with my new-to-me 5x7 (Eastman View No.2) for the first time -- it will take awhile to get use to have no front movements (except rise/fall). And the back springs are a bit weak.
