Street scene

Well done

Excellent comp planning... getting the bicyclist in the highlight (left shoulder was a bonus... )

Thanks, Rags. "Planning" gives me too much credit, though. More like recognizing a lucky break in post.

This is excellent! Like Rags said, I really like how the clear area in the background follows the cyclist's contour. The pic also makes you wonder what the different stories are. Well done.

Really like this. Might be a stronger image if you cut out the entire left side with the people in sunlight.

Ah yes happenstance, however only happens to the watchful eye.

Thanks, Juano. Yeah, that contour worked out well.

Interesting thought. It might work, but it would be an entirely different image. What attracted me to the scene in the first place was the interplay of bright light and shadow.

There is less of a connection between the two on the left and two on the right then there is between the two on the right actually fitting together in contour (which is lost in original). Different image, but perhaps stronger...

BTW, not much street shooting recently...
