The lone cyclist...

This is Bloor street in downtown Toronto... Monday evening... 6pm... where on earth are all the cars????

Feeling a tad uninspired today... counting on tomorrow to be better :)

Thank you for the wonderful comments and favs on my last two letter shots...

[Kelly]

Love the composition here, shadows and light and fab processing - dont know why you consider this uninspired???

[Kerri]

LOVE the composition! Fav

[Dana Palermo]

Fantastic shot! Love your processing!

[Jody C]

Great composition, I really like the light and your processing.

[Vee]

Yes, the compositon is perfect!...nice depiction of the solitary cyclist on the empty road.

[Maggiemae]

Great shot and nice to see the whole street instead of wall to wall cars!

[Sean]

This is pretty sweet! Doubt you could grab this again anytime soon.

[Sandra]

Great POV, nice shot!

[Lorraine]

Wonderful Cityscape.

[Simply Amanda]

Awesome timing with nothing else on the road competing for attention. Love the bikers placement (your composition). Well shot, lady!

[Leana Niemand]

Great B&W, the cyclist must have loved the lack of traffic.

[Allegresse]

Wonderful perspective. I love the b&w

[Colleen]

Nice, this reminds me of L Armstrong and the whole mess...maybe the only way he gets to enjoy a ride is alone like this guy!

[Travis B❂urland]

This is a wonderful shot and I love the solitude with the simplicity.

[Karen H]

This is a great street shot. People would kill to get a main street that is empty except for a lone anything.

[Lyn]

Wonderful processing...it really works incredibly well here!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Love the tones....and yes, where are all the cars??

[Bobbyj]

the texture on the road is great, cool capture too!

[8yearson]

You have captured the deserted and lonely feel very well here, and the b & w sympathises with this.

[Simon]

Great shot Northy

[Livia]

I love the composition, and the light! Great processing too!

[Marie]

Brilliant composition!

[aurorajane]

ditto on composition, lovely work Northy

[Stacey]

It is a great composition and the light bouncing off the pavement and the cyclist is perfect. You may feel uninspired, but it is still a great photo and good for you for actually getting out everyday to stay true to your project.

@newbie Well - not all my shots are taken the day of... Yesterday was just a sucky day... It was Monday... I had a weather-induced headache... And I had to spend a good portion of the day at training (so no time for lunchtime photography)... A trifecta of suckiness... Hopefully today will go better :)

[Nikki]

What a great shot.ndosnt look like a busy city

[Jenn]

Where is everyone!! Ghost town at 6pm...unheard of!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fabulous composition with all the empty space in the road xx

[Robyn]

This really is incredible in its emptiness. Great shot!

[ladyjane]

An empty street in Toronto? Surreal! Great shot - love your composition here.

[Cromwell]

[shrugs] Uninspired? I think this is a wonderful shot.

[Paul]

cool shot northy

[hellcat]

I like the comp... especially that there is bikes on the right side, parked, an empty street, and the bike on the left in motion.

[Andreas]

Cool with the cyclist alone in the bright emptiness.

[Ade Akinyede]

Brilliantly composed and captured!!! Love lighting and B/W :)

[Peter de Graaff]

Looks like Ilford film

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the balance with bikes on both sides. Nice shadow too.

[David]

If this is what you do when you lack inspiration then please lack it more often! It's marvellous.... the light on the empty road, the road as a line to lead the eye through the picture, the lone cyclist moving in the opposite direction towards the viewer, the parked bikes across the road and cars in the far distance as if they are banned ........ Look at it afresh Northy, it's just fabulous!! Fav!

[Myrna O'Hara]

I bet this biker was enjoying no traffic. I like the processing too. My 30 year old son travels everywhere on his bike. He never wants to own a car

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

Great capture.

[Erinn Dubay]

I love this. I love the composition. Wonderful shot. fav.

[ShanneW]

lovely empty feel

[Juliette Packham]

love the simplicity of this
