These are cool. A good idea. Keep working it, as B.D. is bound to tell you.

Really neat idea. #2 for me too. I wish the bicyclist was a little more in the frame in #4 It looks like a few more seconds and you would have had him.

I agree with Rutt. Keep working it.

Looking again, I think you might try getting the camera a bit lower.

Now this is what I call being creative. Nurturing and developing this element of your personal make-up will carry you just as far as any technique, or piece of equipment, can ever do. Keep up the good work.

I love the concept and the excecution.

I must ask though, did you crawl in there yourself or just use a remote shutter?

Very clever, and well done. #2 is the winner for me.

#1 I'd like it more if it didn't look like the motorcyclist was scratching his rear end.
#2 is just great! The curve in her leg walking mirrors the bend in the cyclist's leg; the progression of walking to cycling to automobiles as you go deeper into the frame.
#3 Looks like the guy is adjusting his pants.
#4 Amost. A fraction of a second later and you'd have had the whole cyclist, as it is, there's just enough of him missing to make it bothersome.

Really, really great idea! As Rutt said I'd say - keep going!! I'm not a tripod guy, but I'd use one for this. Pick the spot, the perspective, and just keep shooting. And watch the positioning as the subject moves across the circle. Again, this is really terrific!

Thanks for all the comments everyone. This was one of those opportunities of chance. I was walking the outside boundary of the area I've been shooting for the last several months. It's all slowly being torn away to be replaced with modern developments.

I'm not exactly sure what went through my head, but for some reason I decided to wade into the detritus and have a peek. If you look closely, you will see a largish rock at the right end of the closer pipe. That was my vantage point. The two pipes were oriented such that they pointed across a large intersection. The one in the background had too much debris. The closer had some, but I was able to work around it.

I would be hugely surprised if they are still there this weekend. But I've learned about something else to look for when out shooting.

What a terrific concept, very creative. #2 is my pick as well. Well done!
