I'm shocked, just shocked. That the voters saw merit in this. I mean, really. A great big OOBIE to the voters, and congrats on this stellar image.

Stunning. POV and perspective and minimalist BW. (Looking at some of your portfolio I am refreshed by your use of perspective and light).

It did do well, and I'm glad. There's hope for the voters yet. Well deserved. Congrats!

A lovely contrasting duet
05/20/2008 03:13:40 PM
the overall focus of your image really makes it stand out

Reminds me of a camel shot from time magazine

Love the concept and usage of the shadow.
05/19/2008 10:10:49 PM
I really like the values and contrast in this picture.
05/19/2008 08:00:39 PM
dramatic, well seen composition. while some might say it is too contrasty, I actually like the feel of this, the mood, and the curving line thru the image adds a flow to it that is really nice. 8

Cool shot.
05/19/2008 11:47:11 AM
Very clever and fun.
05/19/2008 02:55:57 AM
very interesting point of view
05/18/2008 11:00:52 AM
I really like the composistion with the shadow and line.

Very, very good. Great sense of the moment (biker lit in the shadow) and of the composition. Congrats
05/17/2008 08:15:04 AM
Love the use of the shadow here, and the line is a nice way to help lead the eye through the photo. Fantastic job!
05/16/2008 06:50:34 PM
way cool shot! like the birds eye view for this shot!
05/16/2008 04:36:03 PM
like the curve 9
05/16/2008 09:25:35 AM
Love the angle you shot from.
Would have preferred the cyclist being right on the line (sure you would have, too), but you probably only had the one shot. I know how these things go...
05/15/2008 10:49:02 PM
Great use of shadows and light.
05/15/2008 10:37:15 AM
Very nice. We're all told to not shoot images from "eye" level and your image is a good example of why this is good advice.
05/15/2008 09:42:59 AM
this is a very creative shot i like it a lot. i think there is just a little bit too much shadowing though. the whole front of the rider is black and it really takes emphasis from the shadow riding the bike.
05/15/2008 02:31:57 AM
Great shot! I like the way the cyclist is highlighted in the shadows. I wonder what it would look like if you rotated 180?
05/14/2008 11:58:01 PM
Clever perspective. This works.
05/14/2008 10:02:31 PM
Nice angle! Set me off a bit.
05/14/2008 08:51:56 PM
Love the composition.
05/14/2008 06:54:07 PM
Great use of strong lighting and shadows
05/14/2008 05:35:09 AM
The more I look at it the better it feels. Bravo.
05/14/2008 04:42:03 AM
Interesting perspective ! , Wish you had tried to bring out a little more details in the shadow areas , but I like it. 7
05/14/2008 03:40:20 AM
I really like this...nice high contrast...well done 7
05/14/2008 02:56:51 AM
Excellent perspective,lighting textures & drama in the image..10!
05/14/2008 12:33:42 AM
I really like your choice to make the shadow the central subject.
