Challenge: Best of 2011 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM II
Location: Cannon Beach, Oregon
Date: Oct 15, 2011
Aperture: 7.1
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/1000
Date Uploaded: Feb 9, 2012

Haystack Rock on Cannon Beach, Oregon is one amazing sight; add in the ability to bike on the beach at low tide, and then, kick it up a few notches with a sunset back drop... It's a cycling photographer's dream recipe. Christy and I experienced countless amazing landscapes throughout our Give A Bike 50 state bike tour ( www.giveabike.com/facebook or www.giveabike.com ) but Cannon Beach will always stand out as a favorite!

Ideal setting for a ride.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

One of the few thumbnails that really grabbed my attention. Lovely shot and obviously great timing. Looks like a few tyre marks on the sand between photog and cyclist so I would like to believe this was not set up and practiced but rather captured on the first try. Composition is simply great and the sky is just gorgeous!

Wonderful silhouette of both the bicyclist and Haystack Rock. Love the look of the wet sand, reflecting the sunset sky.

Capturing the cyclist right as the went past the sun in your line of view was a great idea. Lovely golden tones in this image, nice focus, very pretty all around.

Looks like you made it to the west coast! (I think, is that Haystack Rock?) Awesome shot! I would think a loaded touring bike could be tough to ride on the beach. I'll be curious to find out how you managed that. A 10 for a great shot with strong personal appeal for me.

Nice composition; right spot at the right time. (voted earlier)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I saw this and thought of Mark Beaumont who has done many expeditions including breaking the world cycle around the world record.
A beautiful sunset, silhouette and reflections complimented by great composition.

Life cycles from night to day.
My journey begins with the golden glow.
New adventures dawn and I ride to meet them.

This is absolutely spectacular in color and mood! Congrats on a wonderful capture. New adventures do indeed dawn at early morning.
