file13 Bicycle

The light was fading. I was very taken with the composition. I

snatched the shot and had to do some photoshop work to get this

effect. I quite like the overall impact, what do you think?

I like it a lot...the colours, the abstract feeling. Well done.

nice shot! I love your positioning of the bicycle. the crop up top is a little tight...adds some (undesirable??) tension to the picture. I surmise from your intro that a shadow was falling accross the landscape. This always complicates things, doesn't it? Anyhow, I'd be curious to see a copy without such a tight crop.

 

Fun shot.

the last comment was right, the bike sits too close to the top of the photo.It leaves the viewer feeling confined as if they were in a very short room. Since there is a lot of empty space down below and since this photo was likely cropped perhaps you could recrop it placing the bike lower in the shot...perhaps 1/3 from the bottom instead of the top. (thats assuming there is nothing undesirable in the top third.) At any rate, moving the bike lower even a little should help. Just a thought.

I have loaded both the original and the a more classic "thirds" crop. (Click here to see them) In the crop I didn't concentrate on the levels or saturation, I just wanted to show the shot with a more classical crop. I still think I prefer the tension created by the original crop. What do you think.

This is a real good photo. It's great to look at. The colors created interest in the picture. The composition is marvelous. An effective use of the "panoramic" format...creates drama
