Movement without moving.

Here is a shot I took a of my sona nd niece. Unfortunately I didn't get the bottom of the tyre
But I like the look of motion without the bike really moving. Thoughts?

Thanks

Wow, your niece looks really upset!

Hmm... for me the biggest distraction is the trampoline in the background and that little white stick thing lying on the ground.

I agree with you on liking the look of motion.

The kids are very cute!

It does have motion.
Was the wind blowing in your neice's hair? Anyhow, the capture is nice. I like the wood in the background. Perhaps a crop could remove most it not all of the trampoline in the background.

I like the shot. I agree re background. If you have photoshop you could clone out the white stick and blue tramp. If you were really careful, you could clone in the bike tire and pavement.:D

I agree with the background - but my PS skills aren't quite there yet. More practice and I'll attempt it. I think the motion in my niece's hair is caused by her turning her head quickly.

Thanks very much for your comments - critique and I'll learn!

Cheers
