Father and Son Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Father and Son"

A father and his son cycle on the Sea Wall at Stanley Park, against the backdrop of Vancouver's impressive skyline. This image is a backup to my previous image Cycling through woods taken just 25 metres away from the spot where I took this picture. The place is a big hit with the locals who come out and enjoy what Vancouver has to offer.

The truth was I was trying to get a picture of Vancouver's skyline, and on the second attempt, these two cyclists came into the foreground.
I say, its a fortunate coincidence.
What do you say?

Hi Nivas.

I remember that last image...
True...that "coincedence" has made this image more sensible and energetic.
Composition is good, well handled .
Salutes.

Hi Nivas,
Oh yes, the cyclists make this picture. Nice design on that 'tandem' the kid can pedal too.
Skyline of Vancouver is special but it's far from it's best on this midday sun.

You're absolutely rigth, Nivas. The father and his son makes this an interesting shot of the Vancouver skyline, although I have to be frank. I would prefer them a little bit more on the right side of the shot.
Regards, Peter
