I see what you are trying to do here Sylvie. And the motive, the strong shadow is well seen. There is certainly an interesting image here. And capturing a car with some motion blur in the background adds to the urban atmosphere. But for some reason it does not really work for me. Can't really pinpoint why, but let me try. I think that the composition lacks a clear main motive. There is a lot of elements in the igame (a good thing) which are not really tied together compositionally. I lack some clear line or a place where my eyes can rest. Just my view, of course. But it is quite a shame because the scene is otherwise very well captured.

Best,
Mikkel

Et moi, je trouve que c'est du travail, c'est une composition très riche, magique, avec d'extraordinaires effets de "city mood", et harmonieuse malgré la richesse d'éléments. J'aime beaucoup. Amitiés. Grazyna.

Bonjour Sylvie
Encore beaucoup d'ambiance dans cette photo. Cette dominante orange, ces objets avec leurs ombres ou leurs reflets, la voiture qui file, c'est très bien vu et bien composé. Du très beau travail
Amicalement
Hervé

This is a fine image, Sylvie. Again, I envy your power of observation and quick eyes. And of course, the steadiness of your hands.

hello Sylvie,

I like the reflectionpart very much, it could be a photo on its own. Beautiful blue reflection.

Hi there! :))
This time it's not a double bike - the second one is supersized :)
Loving the effect of the big huge wheel on the ground. Almost looks like a clown's bike from a circus :)))
The street lights at the back give it such a warm feel!
So different an effect from the one at TL...
Just as good, in fact, if not better.

Ombres, lumières, couleurs, le tout mélangé dans une originalité artistique intéressante.
Va bene.

J'aime ce genre de photos nocturnes - le POV est aussi bien choisi, ainsi que les couleurs...
Bravo,
Cath.
