 From my trip with tanguera to the Salton Sea. This was taken where we camped - a nice little jetty that folks could go out on to fish. This young man was riding back and forth, just generally enjoying the day and his bike. Can't beat that, now can you?

Ties in well with my other Free Studies so far this year, which is not an intended thing - just has turned out that way.

Very grateful for the most excellent comments - thanks so much! A joy to share a picture you love and have others respond.

Some others from that evening. The light was simply gorgeous.



Thanks again!

This is really really good; its good t see a shot where subject can cause interest but be the result of the photographer putting it altogether, nice work.

Nice finish, Deb. I really like this. The invisible diagonal line connecting the bird with the boy really is a nice one.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Fabulously constructed image. Everything is right here and because of that your image, like the bird, soars. The coloration/toning, the light, the exposure, the subjects, the backdrop - it's difficult to see how it could get better than this.

Critical stuff: Umm... no.

Overall: A DPC great. I'm sure you'll ribbon. I hope it's blue. If you haven't done so already, I'd try this at 1x.com too (if you are so inclined).
