Hello from the Critique club
An interesting image that meets the challenge well
As a fellow cyclist I find your image interesting and appealing, it works well in mono. In terms of the composition it could be improved, tilting the camera down to exclude some of the top in preference for the lower half would have helped and although I like the curve of the pavement, to keep it means including the very distracting person in the background. She stands out quite dominantly but has a very unorthodox pose that is not in feeling with the rest of the image. Your timing could have been better a fraction later to hide the motor-cyclist behind her.
I would always advocate shooting in colour and doing your mono conversion on the laptop for total control of the end result which is more often better than anything the in-camera processing is capable of.
It’s great to see you taking up this wonderful pastime at such a young age, keep at it Peter and good luck with your future entires. |
