Hello Marlene,
I was about to leave for work in a couple of minutes... but just thought to check the TE gallery again.
LOL That's an intresting POV! and a curious sight! The cyclist seems to be hanging in the sky. It's a pity that the sky is greyish-white but it doesn't really change much in this photo. the bright building on the right warms up the photo :)
Kind regards,
Elena

Hi Marlene,What a strange image ,its difficult to work whats going on.I don't know which looks the most bizarre the figure or the building ,your shooting angle and the white out sky makes the scene all the more unreal.Thanks Tom.

Hello Marlène,

Vey original, very impressive and very nice too with a good framing and a great balance in the composition: the cylsite well located in the image, nice diagonal and elements of a beautiful house.
Good and orginal photowork,
Best regards,
Roger

It is a nice shot. May be a bit more of contrast would make it better. Well done.

HI Marlene, really intersting POV and angle used here. Shame about the sky being blown out but what could you have done? The subjects have been beautifully exposed. Nice job, Lisa.

nicely balanced (oh dear, was that a pun??) shot, very playful.
i don't know - i think the sky is a fantastic colour for this photo - like a watercolour backdrop rather than an imposing blue.
i would take my political cloning tool, though, and get rid of the 2 securiy cameras - i don't like them in the modern world, and not in an old world photo. just my personal preference.
10 out of 10 for the shot

marlene

a very nice image with a strong graphic mood, beautiful the personage in the center of the composition, the lines crossing it and the façade in a side. It would be nice a version in B&W too. well done

hugs
