den haag (the hague) # 3779

This image has the effect of looking layered, as if the golden bicycle had been placed over the rest of the image, but the reflections match showing this is all one exposure with wonderful timing and position that includes the bicyclist and the statue of the horse and rider. In that sense the image is layered with the older form of transportation, horseback, then the man on a bike, topped off with a shiny, golden image of a modern bicycle. So, I love the story this image tells, as well as the image, itself, for how well it's been captured and rendered.

I can not help wondering how you did this. I do not suppose, that after your perfect basic composition you stand there bowing a bit downwards looking through the viewfinder and wait until the right subject moves to the right place and fire up. You are not visible in the picture due to a clever angle selection. I bet you stand up tall and look for the subject to cross a preselected `line´ in the `still-life´ - just playing with the thoughts here. A good one anyway.
