Town and Gown by judithg

Town and Gown

A lady academic arrives rather at the last minute for the degree ceremony. There were lots of people walking around so it was tough to catch her but I thought she looked the part on her bike.
I love the shot! With the black gown blowing in the breeze and the basket on the bike, I immediately started humming the Wicked Witch music from the "Wizard of Oz". Fabulous shot!

awesome processing and composition!

Very interesting and funny! Well spotted! And that's an unusual editing from you, I like it!

@scatcat Thanks - I was just regretting it and thinking I should have gone more natural!!

I like the processing too and the way it focuses attention on bike-lady.

Great view of the town life. Love the processing.

The editing sure helps to focus on the lady - what a fabulous catch. Is that the aquarell filter on the rest of the picture? I'm all for the editing but I'd love to see the original version or a slightly more natural one, just to compare.

@jannaellen It's water colour from photoshop. I think it's OTT though - I'll post a less processed version under a different date.

I quite like this OTT processing. Fresh, different, interesting.

I think it's awesome! And I wish we had more such cyclists in Estonia as well... :)

Love the shot and editing.

I hope she didn't get her gown caught in the spokes !! Great the way she is highlighted & all around her is darkened, really good editing ! We have been using photo shop in class tonight & I think you can get some really interesting looks with it especially if you do this sort of thing ! I didn't do much at class though as I was so tired tonight & it was a real effort to go . All finished now !

Simply wonderful! Love how the light spotlights your subject. Very well done, Judith!

Absolutely and a really imaginative way of highlighting her - nice work!
