Very interesting image - a nice break from (the fine examples of) rusting farm machinery.

Pristine image.

I do like this great scene but (I almost hate myself for saying this) it seems under-edited. Perhaps you wanted a very authentic depiction and I should respect that but I feel there is so much untapped potential in this image (in terms of contrast, colour, tone and texture).

I'd be really interested to know whether that was an active choice or absence of software.

It looks a little like she is cycling on a giant frosted glass-topped coffee table.

I like the image a lot

I'm sure you must be getting killed on this one - I'm guessing this is the clive_patric_nolan entry?

I'm a fan but I must admit there's not too much for me to hang onto here. I don't really get the angle - am I missing some cultural context?

In terms of enjoying the image - the light is intriguing and the focal point is eclectic but for me the image doesn't 'hang together' - it is in dissonance.

On a positive note - I think the contrast and the colouring with the little bit of red at the top is excellent.

Gave it a 5 earlier, coming back to comment. This longer look hasn't offered up any reason to change the score.

I'm pleased to have viewed it though - a nice contrast to the other entries.
