    Looks good to me. A fairly wide range of lighting has worked well and you avoided both over exposed highlights and clipped shadows. The cyclists nicely lead the viewer right into the centre of this scene.

    Interesting shot George. What do you think of cropping out the van and the lamppost? This was just done very roughly on my iPad as an illustration, but you could also clone out the small details left on the right from the post one removed.

    well spoken.

    Well George, at least you will remember what you saw


    Shame about the position of the van and the white triangle on left hand edge, but I appreciate you had to time the shot for the cyclists.

    If this were mine, I'd consider a crop to perhaps just exclude the red window blinds, followed by a partial clone job to remove the van entirely - however, I suspect I may be alone in this matter.

    HTH, Dave

    PS UPDATE:
    I see Simon has posted a cropped version, which works fairly well, without the hassle of cloning, retaining the left/right balance by also taking a bit off the right hand side.

    I know about the van. I just didn't want to wait longer for bycicles without a van.
    I tried some portrait to but I thought the landscapes were better.
    When cropping I always try to keep the same ratio. It's just something between my ears.

    Simon did a good job cloning out that van, George. I like his version better.
