Call of the Ride

The scene conveys the title perfectly. A fave for this one. I'd love to have a large size version of this to use as a desktop background.

If it was not outside the challenge rules, I would suggest cloning out the biker in orange. That person tends to draw the eye to the wrong place in the scene.

Neat looking sculpture. Haven't seen many statues that looked like they were having this much fun.

A bit on the soft side and low in contrast, I'm afraid.


I also think there may be a bit of JPEG compression going on here that is robbing you of some detail. Your file size is 90k when you could have used up to 150k.Check the JPEG compression settings in your image editor and always try to save as close to the limit for a challenge as you can get it without going over.

Bicycle gangs! Riding around like they own the road, beating up teenagers with their frame pumps! Something MUST be done about this modern urban problem. You can usually pick them off at rest stops though. You can use bananas as bait, and once they are off the bike, they can't move very fast.

Not sure I like the comp and the way the phone lines cut across the frame, but the silhouette is nice and the colors bold and pleasing.

Nicely integrates some known challenge-topping elements with the bicycle silhouette. This ought to do well.

Like the title. Nice "lure of the road" scene.

Shooting with a friend, I see. Same 3 bikes and an almost identical view. I think this color version is a bit better. The colorful frames stand out from the busyness of the scene more. Comp is ok, but could be framed a bit better. On something like this, a slight angle makes a huge difference in the scene.

I skipped on of my potential entries because of a bit of fluff like I see here. I should have gone with it. This is pretty good in spite of the hairs.

A touch on the dark side, but otherwise I like this. Well composed with good detail.
