Escaping the oppression of the city's gloom. Works well. Dramatic.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I wasn't sure how much detail to bring out, and ended up just leaving it the way it was.

 

[Brian Moore]

I think it works, Rob. In particular because of the cyclist's white jersey.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Brian. I've just this minute remembered all your cycle-track shots. No more these days?

 

[Martin Carlin]

Yep the cyclist stands out well and the gloominess of the city in the background makes for a nice image imo

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Martin. I remember waiting for him to reach the bottom right, but it was uphill for him - took a while.

 

[Martin Carlin]

I would not be able to cycle up any incline so he done well as did you for waiting for him made a fine shot

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I think it is cleverly and well done and it makes an outstanding image. The cyclist though, I believe is a woman and that does not make it less good.

 

[Martin Carlin]

Wow Ivar you must have great eyes. Mind you I am blind as a bat lol

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The light is different in Norway - you see things more clearly. Mind you, Ivar, you've just had a knock on the head. Are you seeing women everywhere?

 

[Pete Askew]

That's why he got the knock on the head!

Yes Martin when I squint!

Almost Rob, and especially the forms and shapes of them. This one is definitely a woman biker.

See, Pete has undergone the same treatment and some of us never learn!

 

[Rense Haveman]

I like it!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Rense.

Naw,...haven't done that in a while, Rob. It was a phase.

Why is it, that years and years (and years) ago, when prints were picked up from my local Chemist, (not Pharmacy as is de rigueur nowadays) images such as these were destined for the "round file". and yet now, they are quite splendid...????

Is it age...??...artistic snobbery....maturing insight...???...failing eyesight...????

The more I look at this Rob, the more I see...nice one.
