Don't Mess with Mr. In-Between

Hi Jack - wonderful fluidity here, very interesting composition - the curve of the white line, the curve of the van, the tilt of the camera, and the man on the bike, sitting tall and center. All those shapes somehow come together beautifully, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, all snapping together, all flowing together. Love the red too.

I like the title :))))

 

I'm a sucker for strong punchy colour like this. Always good to see your street stuff Jack.

The dude and the bike are razor sharp, which is interesting considering the rest of the world is a saturated blur.  I like the energy that the red wall brings, and your composition lends a lot of energy as well.

Thanks for the comments. This is about as over the top as I get. It has a certain in-your-face appeal, at least to me. I think you really have to view this large if it is to have any impact at all. Jeff, you're right, I panned with the rider as he went by.

Jack. I agree, this is terrific when viewed large. It brings the emphasis more to the guy on the bike. In the smaller version, I am afraid I'm going to get run over by that vehicle.

you are such a great photographer!  this photo with its composition is like someone choreographed it - just to time the camera shutter.  a great photo!  i like the caption, too.

i love this!

The sense of motion is well conveyed here, Jack. The vibrant colors help, too.
