This was a lucky shot from the hip while I was walking around town. I saw this boy pedalling feverishly and went to capture him for the motion blur challenge but just as I snapped he turned his head to check out the specials menu on the restaurant sign. I was surprised to see another biker that was behind him reflected in the window and I thought the photo as a whole begged some intriguing questions. I hope the voters like it.

| Such good processing. I'm so glad you posted the steps. Before I read them I was particularly taken with the subdued color, and was trying to understand what made it so special. I like the reflection in the window, and I get a really nice feeling from this little snip of the neighborhood -- the cobblestone streets and walk, the open door of the restaurant and the sun on the building across the street. |

| I really like the double take here, with the reflection and the rider. Though not the same person, it does engage you in the photo. |

| Interesting thing is the reflection doesn't seem to be that of the foreground subject. |

| While I think the subject matter is good, the blur I find a bit distracting, both the bike rider and the background OOF. |
