Tom, I like the subjects you choose to shoot. This is an interesting scene that keeps me looking, and there fore you have won me over with this one already. To be critical, I feel the framing could have been loosened up a bit around the Bikes. Also, the composition is heavily weighted on the right side, with most of the clouds, mountains ,bikes, and darkest areas. The colors, subject and scene you have spotted keeps this one very good nevertheless.

I like what I see here too. I too found my eyes roving around to pick up the full scene. I wonder what it would look like if you centered the bicycles. Some fill flash would have helped with the darkness of the bikes.

Many thanks.
Gary that's an interesting observation regarding being weighted to one side and I must admit it never ever occurred to me. Perhaps had the bikes been on the left facing to the right a better balance might have been accomplished.
EOS gave interesting consideration to the bikes being in the middle but I cannot get that right in my mind.
EOS the bikes were even darker and I gave them some selective adjustments; maybe not enough.
Trog thanks. I never feel that the title is really important but giving them names can be fun in itself.

the picture has that special something.. the title gives it that something more when u present it for viewing.. techncally u can pick holes in it pretty much like u can with everything..

"nice" is about as good as u will get from me.. i dont thow superatives around..

I find myself enjoying the mountains more than anything. But I am an outdoors lover already.

I think the composition of the bikes and the field and mtns to be interesting, but, there seems to be something missing here -- shouldnt the folks who rode the bikes be in the picture? It's almost like they should have disembarked and gone into the field to do something: work, gather, etc? Seems so to me. W/o that, the picture seems incomplete.

I also agree with the other reviewers that the bikes seem to take a dominate stance in the photo. Perhaps they're too big for the frame? As is, they command a lot of attention but they're a bit too dark and perhaps a bit to common to make a statement. Oh well, a bike is a bike eh?

Thanks for posting, the area really looks interesting. Where is this again?

GB,

Thanks for helping me with this - I felt there was something missing but could not figure out what it was.
Personally I think this would be better without the bikes.
