The City Rider

I would appreciate your comments, critiques and/or ratings

Alberto, what is really astonishing about this photo is that the viewer has the impression that he is really standing there! Superb use of the wide angle lens which I have never been able to put to good use personally. Well done.

Très belle, bonne composition avec des lignes de fuite qui donnent une grande profondeur à l'image. Personnellement, je trouve que le petit cycliste est un peu trop "bord cadre" mais c'est un détail mineur.

Destaca por su gran profundidad.

Alberto, I like the way you have got down to the boy's eye level. Your photo takes me back to my own childhood and looking at the world through a child's eyes.

Siempre haces las fotos con los cielos muy bonitos.

Alberto: Esta foto es muy buena. También me da la sensación de regreso en el tiempo en el que aún siendo un niño, de repente me detenía a ver la belleza de un cielo nublado como éste. Un poema eh? Saludos y perdón por la falta de atención y de comentarios, pero ya me recuperaré!

Ficou excelente!

Wonderful use of the wide angle. Great composition as well.

Very nice! Great composition.

Great composition and perspective, Alberto. B&W is the right choice for a photo like this, IMO.

Nice shot Alberto (although perhaps a little soft in its presentation here). I wonder if the title could perhaps be a bit stronger? To me the kid seems to have stopped and is hesitating about his onward journey towards that church with the ominous cloud formation overhead. As a minor point, I guess it would have been nice to have just a littel bit more space between the back wheel of the bicyle and the left edge of the image.

Simplesmente espetacular! Esta foto e o conjunto da sua obra. Parabéns e obrigado por apresentá-las.

Beautiful composition.

Muy buena Alberto, particularmente el enfoque tan suave que le das. Los contrastes juegan muy bien para dar un aire de un tiempo ya pasado. Saludos.

bellissima prospettiva e ottimo Bianco e Nero!

Excellent shot, really brings some nice feelings.

 

2 minor remarks: the B&W somehow doesn't "feel" like it should. Maybe needs some more contrast or maybe it's the scan? I'd also like a tiny bit more space between the boy and the frame.

Your remark is very valid and, upon reviewing the posted image I feel, myself, like giving a darker and more contrasty mood to the city and the boy. I'll try it and repost. Many thanks

Bien, aunque me parece que el pasto y la vereda no agregan gran cosa, quizá yo habría compuesto haciendo una toma centrando un poco más al pibe.

Ohhh very nice. At first I thought perhaps the child was tucked away too far into the corner, but after looking for a while, it feels right. this is a great photo. best of the bunch imho.

Muy buena. Un saludo.
