Objects in the mirror may appear closer than they are.

    This is really a very interesting image. When I look at the image, the man in the mirror appears to be in the foreground with the driver in the background. I like how both subjects are in focus but the car, which appears to be in the middleground, is not. It bends the mind a little.

    Interesting capture. I'm wondering if it would look good in black and white. There is almost something kind of, sort of creepy about it - maybe because of the expression on the face of the guy on the motorcycle and the serious profile of the driver. B&W might draw the viewer more into wanting to make a story out of it.

    I'm generally don't convert to B&W unless absolutely necessary (IE: my colour picture looks really bad). However, I understand that most folks like to see street images in B&W here. So, here's the conversion. I could add more contrast, but that would be straying too far from how it appeared. Thx very much for your input!

    I'm liking the B&W Sabesh but then I'm one of those B&W lovers. It gives me that 'surveillance' feeling with buddy in the side view mirror. Big brother's watching. Mwwhhhhhaaaaaaaaa

    I agree with Patti, I really like the B+W over the color.thumb.gif
