Comment by ubique:
It̢۪s a rare treat for me to be able to comment with enthusiasm on an image that is surely going to finish in the ribbons. I̢۪m usually scrounging about down at the other end.

It̢۪s perfect of course, and the titular reference is also perfect. Nothing more to say really, except thank you. It̢۪s my second-to-top pick.

Very cool shot. Love the flutter of motion contrasted against the rigid framing of the lines. Nice one.

Love the long view up the empty, deserted street, and the shadow of the bicycle. Certainly makes me feel dead of night.

Like the composition and idea, but want just a bit more pigeon. If the jagged crack wasn't running behind him I might not react the same way, but as it is he's just not a strong enough suggestion of a bird for me.

Comment by PenelopeK:
Great perspective. I like the use of black and white, it helps emphasize the form/structure of the building and the bike is a great addition (I assume)
