got wheels? by northy

got wheels?

Riding a bixi bike thru Nathan Phillips Square (Toronto City Hall)... not too crowded today - most days not a chance of getting a shot like this during the lunch hour...

processed from RAW in LR, converted to b&w in nik silver fx, then toner added to the shadows in LR...

tx for the continued views and favs on my boat shot :)
Loving all those criss crossing lines. Fabulous shot.

Hey Northy. I have been following you for a while and find you so creative. You take so much time with your pictures, set up, imagining, etc. I need to do more of this. So my late challenge for you this week is to do a photo with loads of colour and high contrast. Can't wait to see what your creative brain comes up with.
August 28th, 2013  
This is soooo cool! I can't believe you caught this with nobody else in it! Great work :)
August 28th, 2013  
I love this idea that this man has no path to follow, just his choice!
August 28th, 2013  
Cool shot
August 28th, 2013

August 28th, 2013  
cool minimalism, I like that there's a bit of an illusion going on, the biker looks really tiny to me.
August 28th, 2013  
Great minimalistic shot. I love the bright white with the lines of the grid and the shadow from the cyclist is fab xx
