Great subject........something different and thats a good thing. The processing you have done on this does work really well, but maybe a little darker (make the bike stand out a little more against the scrub) could have worked.
The crop and angle though is interesting, and I wonder why you chose it. I understand that you wish to keep the road in the image (and I would as well) but moving around a little more (to the right if possible) could have improved this.........The crop is way too close to the edge of the bike, so moving around could have kept the road in the image, and the bike away from the image edge........also, a lower view could have made the bike larger against the rest of the photo, really emphasising the bike, making it large..........
But still, one of the better images in the challenge, an interesting subject and some good processing |

I researched this bike and Heather online. You did a great job capturing the solemn, almost desolate and eerie feel to this ghost bike monument and the processing definitely helps here. Well done. I do question some of the composition choices though as the horizon is dead center and I would also normally like to have a little more room on the right side of the frame so the bike wasn't so closed in. Then again I'm a little on the fence there because I think it being a little jammed up against the right part of the frame helps give it that off kilter "somethings wrong here" feel which sadly fits the situation with the death of a 42 year old woman. Terrible loss, but you do her memory justice with your photo.
Back to the horizon line. I feel a slightly different angle would have made this even more effective. You angle of view places the bike seat at the horizon and blocks some of the mountains in the background. I would have liked to have seen an unobstructed view of that great shrub/tree above the handle bars. With that said...the photo is about the bike and I'm still giving you a 9 because it's a truly compelling image despite the MINOR compositional preferences I've listed. Good luck! |
