This is an excellent photograph. In viewing it I can almost feel the rider's solitude. You've hit the rule of thirds perfectly here with your rider and with the horizon. It does appear, however, that your horizon is somewhat tilted (the rooftops seem to confirm this), something easily corrected with a slight counterclockwise rotation.
The strong diagonal of the road does so much here, separating the houses on one side from the empty green field on the other, and pulling the eye through the photograph. I also like that you captured the cyclist in light on the shadowy road, this and his red shirt makes it possible for him to stand out as your subject.
Congratulations on an excellent photograph, and a well-deserved 6+ score!
I love the way you took the mundane and made a great photo by using not only rule of thirds, but balance, color, s curve and lines....I'm guessing this was a bike race or something since the road is marked like that? If it was, that is brillant to include only one lone biker..a bunch woudn't have been as good IMO. Anyway, I'm rambling...10
The road does so much in this...it divides the two varying sides but then ties them together, and the leading line it creates pulling me through the photo. I'm quite positive this is in Europe somewhere...more specifically, Germany? Very nice!
Good placement of your cyclist. The green triangle of grass dominates the composition and I wonder if a slightly different camera angle would have served you better.
Love this shot! Perfect frame, nice lines, rider placement, title, colors... My eye is quickly drawn to the rider and the road ahead...Nice rule of thirds. i'm gonna have to bump your score up with this vote.
