I think the composition is dead on as usual. I disagree and think that the lone spectator adds needed interest to the shot. The chaseing motorcycles are in a perfect position. My only problem is the lack of detail in the trees in the upper right. Wind blowing or bad scan? I have seen a couple of yours that could have been bad scans? But well done again Tuna always a pleasure. I think the cyclist will be here in Rome next week.
I am like Barney Fife, I have a gun but Andy makes me keep the bullet in my pocket..
yes i suppose i can see your point! The actuall Rome is a beautifull city!my italian uncle lives near the big park thing i forgot what its called though!
This is an interesting shot. It kind seems a little ludicrous in a way, having this cyclist in his race clothes, with a camera following him, only a single spectator, and no other racers. If not for you title I would have thought something very strange was going on. Your choice of a shallow depth of field with precise focus on the rider does a good job of drawing attention to a small subject in a wide composition, as does his yellow outfit against the dark bg. Nice shot!
I think I would have croped it some myself, the trees are a bit of a distraction. The green is out of place, I held two papers up to the monitor to see what a crop would look like and think less would be more IMHO
Composition is spot on and I would change nothing.
My only one nit pic is the trailing motor cycle, I would have toned him down a little as he competes with the cyclist which is the centre of interest. Getting the one spectator was inspirational in my opinion.
Have you sold it to the cycle rags?
