back on the bike *

Chisec, Guatemala

I really donīt have any choice since itīs my primary mode of transportation but the two weeks of binge eating back in the states definitely make it necessary.

I have a bike like this, but the cogs haven't turned for months and it has had more use as a laundry horse! I totally understand the need for movement... great! - Steve

It sounds like i´d be able to please everyone by just doing a static version of this picture but it´s really not what i´m going for so it looks like you´re all stuck with this one! at least armin likes it:-) jano, this bike is a Giant. i haven´t done any reconnaissance missions into your garage yet but don´t worry they´re coming soon. leave out some cookies and milk:-) thanks all for the input.

The color version is better, but I still would like the blue holding frame to be static. \Oved

great movement!

This isn't a Canondale is it? It looks like you went into my garage and shot this :) jano

Still a bit crazy but I think it's improved. The color of this bike is what attracts the eye. Have you thought about just taking a still shot? I think the rusty chain will compliment nicely. Either way, I'm a sucker for blue. :) ~Britt

Image replaced. Thanks all for the critique and encouragement to reshoot. I like this one a lot better. I think the pedal was really getting in the way of what I was going for. - atothev

I really didn´t want anything to be in focus or clear on the shot but it looks like it´s really not working. Too me it looks like the pedal is too far out of focus drawing attention away from the rest of the picture. i´ll reshoot it today and hopefully get it up tomorrow. - atothev

Ditto..i love the resolution and the idea, but I think a reshoot is in order here. Love the color of blue though!

My only thought is that something needs to be in focus here - I think it is an idea that could be improved upon. jano

I too like the idea. Would agree it would be swell if the bike frame was in focus while pedals show the motion.

quite dynamic motion shot. although i wish your frame was in focus without blur and only padel was showing the movement. nice idea for sure. -Abstract
