On Your Marks..  by andycoleborn

On Your Marks..

My money is on the lady with the basket... definately not the day-dreamer at the back..

Had an afternoon meeting in Spitalfields which finished at 5pm, which was good as it meant I could potter about looking for a shot for today, bad because it gave me an excuse not to go to the gym...

As it turned out, I didn't see anything that caught my eye until I was about to cross the road when I spotted these cyclists ready to beat the flashing green man... Tried B&W but think this one works better in colour...
Love this. You are right. You cn see the attitude in each of them. Nicely seen.

Look at those back packs they are carrying. With that in mind, I may go for the guy with the florescent green pack. More people will give him the right away. The color says beware...and the girls are carrying the kitchen sinks.

Nice shot Andy!

It reminds me of a similar scene I experienced in Florence many years ago with what must have been over a hundred scooters lined up at the traffic lights outside the main station, roaring off when the lights changed and all racing to the first turn! :)

I'm surprised they are stopping at the lights, normally they sail right through. The lady with the basket is on a mission! Great shot.

...I agree with Robin, Andy but the lady close to the sidewalk doesn´t look prepared yet lol Great shot!
