Nothing Like A Country Ride

I caught this cyclist enjoying the beautiful morning weather, and the timing was perfect as this beautiful horse farm served as a wonderful backdrop for his debut here on 365. The morning light was pretty bright so I did get a lot of highlights on the trees, but I still think it looks alright.

This looks like a postcard to someplace in the Country....very nice Rick...

Awesome photo Rick. The position and lines of the fence add so much to this.

It looks perfect to me..a nice mixture of black and white. 2 focul points (that is if you can have two) close together..the fur tree in front of the house and the cyclist.

[Christie Hicks]

Beautiful scene. It was a nice day here part of the day but the wind kicked up around noon and really ripped for hours. Glad this guy got his bike ride in early. And you got this lovely photo too!

This is beautiful in b&w! Is everything leaning right?

[Laurie Higgins]

I think it looks awesome in b&w, Rick. There's a brightness that is really appealing. Sorry you are sick too!

Love the crispness of this shot, and of course the B&W. Certainly more than alright :)
