Great eye, Karm! It's the little things that I like in this one: The block that is behind her frames her nicely because it's a different color than all of the other blocks. Her feet are dangling in the perfect position to make a connection with the bicycle though without the two elements colliding in a messy sort of way. The color of the bicycle complements her shirt.

Karm, very nice capture.

I like this image a lot Karm. Everything about it just seems to work so well.

Class, Karm, pure class. I doff my hat.

Hi Karm,

I like it too, I doubt you could have arranged the composition better if you tried - you didn't, did you?

If mine, I'd try this; there are three things I'd clone out;
the dark patch on next block along
the closest weed above her head
the dark bit right on lower edge of frame about 15% across from our left

I might also lighten the shadow of the saddle, pedals and crank wheel just a tad (they all seem to land in same place due to sun angle).

Hope that helps,

[Donald]

I'd add my compliments to those already posted. That's a beauty. Wonderful composition. The crop is ideal for the subject. You've placed the lady in just the right place within the frame.

I echo all the positive comments, well done Karm. Beautiful composition.

Thanks Mike. The second I saw her and the scene's set up I literally began to shake. I needed to take the picture without her looking up at me or becoming conscious of my presence. Fortunately, the camera Gods were on my side on this this day.

Thanks Dave. You have given me a new category to strive for in my images: pure class.

Yes, I know that feeling, it doesn't help getting a sharp picture with a telephoto though
(I shoot birds)

Well done - at 35mm, you weren't far away, so the risk of 'spooking' her was real enough,

Thanks Dave. I actually took this picture with the camera at waist level.
