Ken,
Very effective composition - still working on your blur I see!
The tilt blends seemlesly into the overall shot and the level of detail (sharpness) is pitched just right. I guess the blur adds a slight sense of motion.

I recognize the place immedialtly. Excellent use of the tilt creating a good dynamsim, so as the motion blur. The b&w is the right choice I think.
Best regards
Fred

Hello Ken
I love this b&w shot! You captured the motion very well, and I like the cobblestone street as well as non straight pov.
Have a nice weekend!

Hi Ken,
good work on the workshop! I like this B&W version but I wish the focus was the opposite: a blurred street and a sharp motorist. Can you do it again please?

Thanks.

Philippe

Hello Ken.
Just the right amount of tilt, and tilted the right way to enhance the lean of the bike. B/w was a good choice, and the motion blur works well with the bike just about to disappear out of the frame. Very nicely done, to get something dynamic and interesting from what was a pretty mundane shot to begin with.
Regards,
Andrew

this is so cool with the tilt, the coble stones and the motor bike adding life to the compo... cheers...

I like this b&w a lot Ken. The reflective quality of the cobblestone pavement works great here. I like the tilt and the choice for the motion blur. Perhaps I would have cropped the frame a bit in the left avoiding that white thing... It steals a bit my attention. Nice one, no doubt about it.

hello Ken,

J'aime beaucoup le mouvement dans cette image, et le graphisme des pavés. Une très belle image de Montmartre.
Bonne soirée
Marie

Hi Ken. This is a fine example of how a very ordinary photograph can be turned into an out of the ordinary photograph. You've displayed great creativity here. I'm not sure that I would have recognised the opportunity to create this image from your original shot, so full marks for the talent you have demonstrated here. Cheers . . . David

Hi Ken,

I like a lot your framing using the street's line on its best. The tilt works wonderfully here. The contrast on the ground pass the idea that the scene was taken after the rain?... Nice exposure to add mouvement. B&W was whitout question the way to go.

Regards,

Flavia
