Photographer’s Note

In the waters just outside Copenhagen a string of islands were build in the 17th century, the largest of the them the initially separate city Christianshavn and to the north of the the naval base called Holmen.
The navy left a large part of Holmen some ten years ago and much has been done to develop this almost rural area close to the center as an attractive part of the city. Unfortunately expensive apartments and officespaces doesn't do much for the local neighbourhood. At least the schools of architecture, music and theatre that were moved there provides some life along with small and strange cafe-projects in the yet undeveloped corners.
From her style of clothing and bicycle my guess is that this girl is probably a student of architecture.

I liked it...very good frame...very good colors..I also liked that you caught her just passing by a tree that cuts the picture diagonally

Nice shot the frame is very "serré" but the composition nice. I make a WS with more contraste.

i would expect some motion blur here, in the cyclist, even with this colorful bright composition. somehow, though, it depicts well the spring to come.
did she notice you?
interesting note. i am curious to know better this place.

Hi Torben, what a nice, refreshing picture. I like the tight crop, and the colors are really spring. Very nice!

This is less extreme than some of your other images, but you certainly like to shoot very unusual angles, Torben. Like caviar, it takes getting used to. Good for you for having your own style.

Yes a fine old _ grandmother cycle you spotted - not to mention the girl - surely not a grandmother ;-)

I like the mix of colours in her clothes - maybe she a "dress architect" - nice to watch this Torben.
