scenics Biker in the East Rock Park on a damp November day

I can feel the chill in my bones when I look at this photo. I can also feel the quiet of the park in the off-season. I mostly love the tones in the photo, but find myself wishing the upper middle portion of the sky were a bit darker - it is blown out enough to be just a bit distracting to me.

Thanks for your comment, Jim. Let me know if this dodged/burned version looks better:

If you are as bothered by the bright spot on the top of the image as Jim Oker, check out the dodged/burned copy of the same image here.

If you liked this image I would appreciate your comments on the rest of the photos in my Scenics folder. If you are not too much into the landscapes of mine :), you may like my "Portraits of family and friends" better.

This is really nice: composition, dof, motion are great. I prefer the burned version to this one. Good work!

Much better after the burning.

Good composition. I would like to have seen the details in the highlights.

Hi Ilia, just like your POW this photo feels warm to me and not cold. I'm given the sense of freshly fallen snow on the ground and trees. But as I look closer, I have to admit that they are leaves. What a nice illusion of B&W! I have yet to expose that roll of Teckpan that a friend of mine gave me...

very good!

With a darker sky this shot should be perfect.
