Bicycle Window Shopping

Alright, folks...I have been a cropping nut today. I deleted my original upload and unfortunately all of your great comments and critique because I was unsatisfied with the version and wanted this cropped down one in my main album instead. Please forgive my nuttiness:). And thanks for all of your great comments that helped me to get this what I feel is the best version!

This was taken yesterday in Augusta, KY...the town where George Clooney (the actor) and his famous Aunt, Rosemary Clooney (the old time singer) grew up. It was a picture perfect day in this quaint, precious town. I loved this scene with the bike and the color for my get pushed color push.

And feel free not to comment again as I am such a nut job.

Looks best on black because of the whiteness.
I didn't comment first time round but I think this is great.

You all are so kind to have commented and helped me to get what I feel is the best version of this photo. I felt the compulsive need to reupload it over the other one with the annoying left side planter(but I was sad to lose your great feedback and favs). Thanks for you help and faves. Feel free not to comment again, but I just wanted to show you the finished result. Please pardon my crazy;-).

Oh this is wonderful Amanda! : )

wonderfully composed! looks like a quaint little place. ive never even heard of augusta

@tbats22 Right on the river. You have to take a ferry from OH to get there. It's so quaint and lovely. They even had old time music (Rosemary Clooney) playing in the streets. It was like a taste of heaven for me.

@violeta Ha! Thanks:)))!

@mariadarby You are very sweet, Maria. Thank you!!
March 28th, 2013  
Perfect, and a fav of course :))
March 28th, 2013  
That bike is a perfect match! Didn't see the first shot but i do like this tight crop.
March 28th, 2013  
@amandal This is the best version by a huge margin. It helps to have all these 365 friends with good eyes for these things!
March 28th, 2013  
Love Love Love it! A fav!
March 28th, 2013  
Love this - what a fabulous shot and composition.
March 28th, 2013  
@seanoneill Thanks so much, Mr. Sean. Appreciate the fav:)!

@fueast Ah, it was a waste;-). Thanks, lady! Appreciate the comments of a fellow bike lover.

@soboy5 Thanks again so much for you help with the crop!

@eyesmile You are sweet, sweet sweet! Thanks so much, Gena!!

@danitech Thank you, Danielle!

The only thing that could make this better would be George Clooney on the bike.
March 28th, 2013  
@lizzyjane66 I kept looking for him, but damn, he was outta town;-). I know, though...how cool would that have been!?!
March 28th, 2013  
Love this. Simple but perfectly balanced shot.
March 28th, 2013  
@farscapephotography Thanks, Simon. It took me all morning to get the crop right. I shot it and figured I could crop it right later, but had a hard time losing anything in it. Glad that it finally came out great!
March 28th, 2013  
@amandal This wins! So much better! Y'know if you do this next time, you can change the date on the previous post to something way in the past. That way it frees up the current day for re-uploading, plus you get to keep the comments :-)
March 28th, 2013  
@shezza Oh you are a smartie. Thanks for that idea. Duh. Thanks, too, for the great comments!
March 28th, 2013  
very charming shot!
March 28th, 2013  
@michaelelliott Thanks, Michael. It was a wonderful little town. I felt like I had stepped back in time with Rosemary Clooney music playing in the streets.
March 28th, 2013  
This looks like a great place to spend the afternoon!
March 28th, 2013  
@httpgeffed Oh it was amazing, Colleen. Thanks!
March 28th, 2013  
Lovely shot
March 28th, 2013  
love the soft colors and composition! great shot!
March 28th, 2013  
@sugarmuser @wind_of_the_sothern_sea Thanks so much, guys. You are kind!

Kev
Does look great Amanda. Wonderful composition.
March 29th, 2013  
Lyn
Ah, so you finally got to get out on your spring break. . .I'm so glad for you!
March 29th, 2013  
Great find. LOve all the white. // you are an ACE member so you can use picmonkey after you upload picture and to fiddle with the crop and when you re-upload this way you don't loose comments.
March 29th, 2013  
Great shot Amanda. If I can offer a suggestion for next time. Instead of replacing or effectively deleting the old photo and all its comments you might consider transferring the old photo to another album. All comments are then kept.
March 29th, 2013  
Fabulous... I love the composition and colours!
March 29th, 2013  
Fab crop, and amazing colours! That pink dress would definitely get the wearer noticed, wherever they went!
March 29th, 2013  
Looks great Amanda.
March 29th, 2013  
awesome street shot
March 29th, 2013  
Great composition with plenty to view. Great stuff :)
March 29th, 2013

March 29th, 2013  
@snaggy Thanks, Kev!!

@lyno So very nice, Lyn. The weather is getting nice. Today we went to OTR and Findley Market. So fun!

@bardejov Oooh, so good to know. Thanks, friend!
March 29th, 2013  
@johnfalconer Hey, John...thanks for that advice. I knew that, just really didn't want the "bad" image to be in my main album. I debated and debated and just did it.

@kwind @darrenboyj @abhijit @masosy @alia_801 Thanks so much, guys. It was such a fun place for photos.

@northy Love your comments. You are a nut job, too, yes?;-) Thanks, friend!!
March 29th, 2013  
@amandal i expect so, yes ;p
March 29th, 2013  
I didn't see the other one but I LOVE this one. It is on the suggestion page (I had one split second) and I clicked on you! Beautiful and happy!
March 29th, 2013  
The composition is perfect. fav for me xx
March 29th, 2013  
Ooo..what neat, fancy dresses! I love the colors in this and the brightness with the white. The bike is sweet, but I'm really digging those purple bricks!
March 30th, 2013

@edie I just love bikes. And it was so fun with all that color. Thanks, friend!!

Wow, I'm dizzy, and I wasn't even in attendance for the 'now you see it, now you don't' extravaganza. LOL
I do like this one the best. :-)

@pasadenarose Thanks so much...I wish that I had taken more time to edit in the first place (yet, it's really cool how great and helpful this community is). Sorry to give you a spin! And I really liked this edit best in the end, too...and I learned that I could have cropped it without deleting the photo in pic monkey...doh! I lost all of the comments and faves.:( Oh well...live and learn!
