The Power Behind The Pedal

Excellent concept shot. I like the fact that you have connected the shot to the bike and used shallow DOF to focus our attention on the driving force. The exposure is pretty solid, but the lighting seems a bit flat.

One area where I would adjust the shot is the crop. I think the square crop really hurts you here. A portrait orientation could elongate our focus more on the leg. Also, I am not sure about the perspective - more of an angle shot (using a tripod and a timer to get the shot) may have actually given this a more flattering view of the muscles in the leg. That is a serious calf, but it could further be exemplified with a side view.

You never cease to amaze me and make me giggle all at once. A great colorful photo that makes me want to see what happens next (actually, now it's reminding me of a crazy bird about to hit a window...).

lol you have a strange sense of humor. This is a great stop motion catch, btw. I think it's funny what one commenter said about the bird about to bump it's head - it does kind of look that way! This is a weird, and yet interesting photo.

Nice shot, but I'd like to see the pigeon more in the shot rather than butting it's head against the right side. If you could legally clone out the pole it would have helped also.

Are you kidding me!?! This is ingenious! I can't believe these people, Jon. It definitely deserved a higher score - so innovative, creative and clever.

And then I saw that Don "forgot" to give out ribbons... oh well. You get a ribbon from me.
