i kind of like this, it brings out some details. like in the BW i only looked at the car, did not even notice the seat.

The swiss flag is red with a white cross.

nice work, the water and the people in the background are especially convincing. I'd darken the tires and put more detail in the colorization of the engine/mechanical parts (there is part of the muffler visible that you colored green), as you left them they stick out from the rest due to the variation in color saturation.
Also, the top part of the Obwalden Canton crest should be red, too.

i saw your sig line: 82 Benelli Magnum 3v

never knew Benelli made mopeds. reminds me of the popular Malaguti mopeds. very highly tuneable. in the 80s there were some that could do well over 100km/h in my hometown in Germany. official top speed for "mofa" was 25km/h

they pretty much have always made some sort of moped or scooter since after WWII, mostly for the Italian market. Mine was made back when Benelli was a division of GBM (Guzzi-Benelli Moto), under the De Tomaso group, pretty basic stuff but it has a lot of sentimental value for me.

to me the green body colour is too flat, or uniformly green, and so doesn't add anything to the photo. I prefer the subtle shading of a good b&w photo.
