    I likey the first one..

    #2 the gals are blown, since they are reflected also, seems to me they are the subject.. (not the bike)

    I'm guessing your AF decided the bike was the subject... :-)

    The first one is excellent and has a lot going for it. I don't understand the second on there doesn't seem to be any thing to anchor me or anything to support the complexity of the image and the woman's reflection looking at the bike is not enough IMHO.

    Thanks for commenting, guys. I also prefer the first one, but despite all the obvious technical flaws, something about the strange combination of elements in the second appealed to me. Can't really explain it, though. ne_nau.gif

    I like the second one for the semi implied direction of everything. The "dummies" are looking left forward and right. The two girls one is looking forward the other right then the guy on the bike is looking left. Then again I may be the dummy!

    I do like both. The dog is really determined to be somewhere. I also like the reflections in the second.

    That's fairly close to what I was thinking. The dummies set the stage looking in all directions but are static, the women are seen from front and back but moving right, and the bike (which was not intentional) is entering moving left. Big deal, I hear most of you you say. Yeah, probably, but it still caught my attention.
