Quiet Sunday Photo

Photographer’s Note

Lone bicyclist rides through the roads of Viby, Denmark on Easter Sunday. I played with the colour/lighting a bit in this one, and I am not altogether satisfied, but I liked the subject anyhow.

* Now I've made it black and white... I think I like it better. Thanks to a great suggestion. What do you think?

Tres simpatique cette photo avec une bonne organisation de l'espace mais j'aurais aimé voir la maison non coupé.
Ca donne envie de faire une balade!

Hello Sarah,
The whole scene looks like something from the past (save for the lamp post)...B/W really worked well, I like it!
Well done, thanks for sharing!

Great composition that works very well as a B&W. The cyclist looking at the building adds a wonderfully interactive quality to the photo. Well done.

bonjour Sarah,
j'aime beaucoup cette image, le n&b est vraiment intéressant. La composition met bien en évidence la scène, le cadrage est juste.
Personnelement j'ajouterai du contraste et peut-être un sépia.

Hi Sarah,
It's very hard to me choosing between two things I like much, specially when I am not forced by factors external to the things itself, like price or personal feelings.
All this to say that I like both versions. For the pov, the beauty of the house the dreamy efect of the bicyclist look to the right (what is she seeing).
The only thing that doesn't satisfy me is the definition/sharpness, but that a common problem of both versions.
TFS, Regards, José

Hi Sarah,
I like both of your version..the colour one is very nice, the one in b&w is nice too with a different "taste"..the picture is very well composed with the man riding his bike as a main subject ..
good job!
regards
Igor
