[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I just noticed - after five months - that this one had no note. Must have forgotten at the time. Well, it is a what you see is what you get shot. The challenge was pointing the camera straight into the sun and still maintain some colours. The reflection in the road was an unexpected bonus. I didn't seek out the position. I just stopped my own bike, whipped out the camera and shot.
No postprocessing except cropping in those days. And today I would crop differently to concentrate more on the actual subject(s).

The lower part of this image is captivating. By cropping a little less than a third off the top, you will concentrate the eye on the best parts - the cyclist and the light at the end of the road. It is worth a try!

Interesting and captivating! Good usage of light conditions, considering that the sun was almost in front of you and the cyclist. I also find the trees a little bit distracting, but in general is a great shot.

Nice work with the light. I like how it falls on the road and on the fields to the left and right. The slight mist over the fields is also good. It looks like there is some dew on the grass and fence, the sparkly look is really nice. I agree with Nina that a slight crop from the top wouldn't hurt.

Yep, really like this shot! You picked a good moment and the lighting is just great, easy on the eyes. The atmosphere seems almost magical.

Per, This is certainly eye catching. I love it. I might suggest a little crop off the top and left side in terms of personal preference but it is very nice as it is too. It makes me want to hop on a bicycle and ride. Thanks for posting this nice picture.

Very nice light catch, Per, and a well framed perspective leading the eye all over. Right side with the reflecting wires and the meadow with almost horizontal light is beautiful. Slightly moving your camera to the right could have led to a kind of impressionist shot.

I feel relaxed by looking at this picture.processing into all that light, whilehaving such a beautiful surrounding...
reminds me of a same experince but in a different position, sun-rays truogh the trees on a curved road,( I was acroos the sun-rays so I could see their lines penetrating out from the trees)
Bravo!
If I were you, I'd crop the tree trunk from the right side.
