Happy Canada Day

We went to the Canada Day Parade today and I got a shot of this guy. The background was very cluttered so I went for a high key look.

[Graeme Stevens]

Very cool, apparently very difficult to ride as well (the bike, not the photo)

[Newbank Lass]

Very cool! Love your processing.

[Annie D]

wow! what a great shot

[Debbie]

wonder how they stay on those things - or even how do they get on?? Cool capture

[Tracie Broadhead]

cool shot-love the people through the spokes

[Vera]

I like it high-key, it almost makes antique, which goes well with the subject.

[Shannon☼]

Love it! I tried to get a shot but he moved too fast for me! The processing is great Kim, but I also really like how you've got the spectators framed in his front tire and the classic car behind him. Awesome. fav.

[Wylie]

Great shot. Always wondered how they got up there!

[Denise Wood]

love the bike :)

[Maggiemae]

Works so well with this shot! Our town is known for Penny Farthings here!

[Ali P]

Love the high key effect! FAV

[Danny G.]

I love your choice of high key processing, very artistic and a fav!

[Jo]

Wonderful shot, the high key definitely helps with the background issue but also gives it a nice old world feel.

[Lindy]

A clever approach and so effective.

[Janiskay]

Wonderful capture and processing!

[Kerri]

Great b&w

[Rosie Kerr]

Oh, this is delightfully quirky. The high key helps with the background, but it also gives a bright and happy quality.

[Danette Thompson]

Very good in high key.

[Darinka]

Great in high key!Love the happy childish mood!FAV

[Yeshanghai]

Absolutely gorgeous! Amazing details, POV, and lighting. FAV

[Leigh Anne Sanderson]

Love, love this! fav!

@gigiflower was just similarly complaining about ppl in the background messing up the perfect shot. We should blow a really loud whistle that will stop the world for 2 minutes, allow us to quickly remove ppl, get our shot, blow the whistle again to restart the world. I'll have to tell the boy. I think my idea has been written about in a juvvie book series: Molly Moon!

Love this! Sorry for the ramble. Lack of sleep, I suppose! ;)

[Susan Klassen]

Love your view through the bicycle spokes!

The processing worked so well. I always wonder how they manage to ride those bikes

[Marta]

I love the effect of the spokes across the people in the background.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Very cool! You sure don't see many of these around anymore. I always thought,though I have never ridden one was, if you lose your balance your are going to get hurt cause there is no way your going to get one of your legs on the ground fast enough to break your fall. Fav!

[Maggie]

Excellent shot - and a great tip about the use of high key to remove clutter.

[Barbara Webb]

Happy Canada Day - love the result of the processing, fav!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Very clever editing. I like the hint of people behind the wheel xx
