    Re: Something caught his eye

    I like the lower 2/3's of this image. The railing and the shadow of the railing draw the attention to the rider. The bridge supports also keep your eye in the frame and the rider appears lost in thought. When I view this image cropped from the top to about an inch of the rider’s head, the composition is stronger for me.

    I wish the light was softer.

    I agree on the tighter crop of 2/3rds from bottom up. As a bike rider myself I like the concept, and have sat on many bridges while taking a break.

    Tracer said it all for me. Give it that crop and that's "the shot."

    I think the color is distracting. Did you try this in blackand white?
