Bicycle Ride, a photo from Sodermanland, Svealand

Photographer's Note

One thing I really appreciate most in Sweden and also in the capital cities are the safty zones for riding bicycles. One lande in each direction even in the main streets of theinner city. I love riding a bicycle and in many cities you can rent them with depots for drop off and pick up all over the place. This one is taken from the bridge across Klarabergatan near Sergel Torg with the sinking sun throwing long shades down the street.

Hola Thomas ...

Vertical format (B / W) is very good here, the idea
is very good at playing with the graphics
of the pavement and the cyclist in the lane-vici,
I like.

..... saludos.

Hi Thomas,
This is a very good idea: I like the vertical cropping, leading the cyclist up and the cycling lane sign, contrasted with the cyclist. B&W also works great here, maybe some more contrast would improve the graphical effect. I am quite curious how this would look with the corrected perspective to make it more symmetrical. TFS.

Hello Thomas,
what I like most about this shot is half of the painted bike's front wheel :))
ok, just kidding! :)
but maybe, really, this half of the wheel also adds a bit of "road charm" to this graphical image? :)
I also like it that you included a bit of a tree branch in the picture.
kind regards,
Elena

Hi Thomas

a good vertical vision, with a harsh contrast, well framed to incorporate the road sign. But you don't get the full shadow and the tree leaves at top right are not in the same mood of the picture.
I propsoe you a WS, tell me what you think of it.
Greetings

Good morning Thomas,
well chosen the vertical format with the cyclist to ride his bicycle in the savety riding zone.I like the B/W format as the panoramic view of the image.

Have a good day,Danos
