Ghost Bike at Double Eagle

Comment by DCNUTTER:
I researched this bike and Heather online. You did a great job capturing the solemn, almost desolate and eerie feel to this ghost bike monument and the processing definitely helps here. Well done. I do question some of the composition choices though as the horizon is dead center and I would also normally like to have a little more room on the right side of the frame so the bike wasn't so closed in. Then again I'm a little on the fence there because I think it being a little jammed up against the right part of the frame helps give it that off kilter "somethings wrong here" feel which sadly fits the situation with the death of a 42 year old woman. Terrible loss, but you do her memory justice with your photo.

Back to the horizon line. I feel a slightly different angle would have made this even more effective. You angle of view places the bike seat at the horizon and blocks some of the mountains in the background. I would have liked to have seen an unobstructed view of that great shrub/tree above the handle bars. With that said...the photo is about the bike and I'm still giving you a 9 because it's a truly compelling image despite the MINOR compositional preferences I've listed. Good luck!

This photo doesn't work for me. I don't see any tilted horizon. It would be great if you could write me and explain your photo to me so that I can review my vote again.

Good perspective, but no tilt. Not sure you could have squared the horizon more exactly, as gauged by the straight verticals. ???
