smhickel 0 Posted January 27, 2002 I really like this photo. I note the zone system is needing some repair here though. I think it is a scanner issue or software. No Blackest black or whitest white, or something missing in that score. See if you can rescan it with a 4000ED from Nikon. Link to comment
nicholasprice 0 Posted March 24, 2002 I have had mixed reviews about this photograph. I was walking along the banks of the river during the flooding in England a couple of years ago. I intended to take a photograph to document the floods, when the cyclist came by, so without thinking I just crouched down and clicked the shutter release. I am quite hapy with the result, but what could I have done better? Link to comment
frank_josbacher1 0 Posted March 27, 2002 My experience was the same as Tom's. As I scrolled the image around I discovered a "sweet spot" that made the cyclist's travel much more dramatic. I tried to find it using the large image but didn't quite achieve the same impact. FWIW, in my preferred display the cyclist can fit about 3 times vertically, and he is positioned at about 2/3 to the right. Interesting shot. Link to comment
eric_wilkinson 0 Posted March 30, 2002 A little creative cropping would increase the impact of this already dramatic shot.Give the bloke on the bike a purpose in life. Push him forward.Well done Link to comment
paula grenside 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Hi, Nicholas, have just found this photo and was caught by the cyclist and the stirred water behind him. You posted this months ago and probably you have already worked on it;if not, I second those who suggest some cropping to give more "stage" to the cyclist. This is indeed a nice capture.

8___d____ 0 Posted March 3, 2005 thanks for commenting on my picture; i looked around your portfolio, this is one of the pics I like best. biking on water is a great subject, and the composition really works for me. don't really like the low contrast, i would play more with levels. Link to comment
nicholasprice 0 Posted March 4, 2005 Thanks for the comment 8===D ~~~. I agree entirely about the contrast. You will see that this photograph was first posted in 2002. At that time, I had a cheap scanner, and I didn't really know what I was doing. So I have re-scanned the original print, and have re-posted it on the site. Here, I include the earlier example for comparrison. Regards, Nick. Link to comment
porter_zeen 0 Posted July 4, 2005 A cyclist on water????? Please EXPLAin TO ME WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT THIS. Link to comment
nicholasprice 0 Posted July 4, 2005 I'm sorry Porter, but I don't think I could ever explain this photograph. If it means nothing to you as a visual image, why would a written explanation help? Don't seek explanations, go with your heart - if you don't like an image, then just leave it at that. Thanks for stopping by, regards, Nick. Link to comment
