Cyclists

I liked the perspective, diagonals, lines, and of course the cyclists.

Wonderful conversion and use of leading lines that point to the cyclists. Consider cropping at the top to eliminate the automobiles, as they are distracting, especially in the context of your thread title.

Totally agree with Mike - great image that just needs a little tidying at the top. Check your white and black points after cropping, losing the car may need a change to the white point in particular.

Thanks Mike and Simon. I've cropped as you both suggested. I also increased white point just a tad as Simon mentioned.
I personally do not find the cars distracting, but I acknowledge the point made by Mike about them being a distraction due to the title.

Nicely captured.

Love this shot idea...did you do this on the side of a blind or something? Very nice and balanced although you have lost that steps at the top. Can't you have just eliminated that white car instead?

[Mike Buckley]

I really do like the revised version better. Well done!

Thanks, John.

This was taken from the second floor of the convention center. My wife and I had just climbed the stairs to the second floor and I decided to take a look out the window (front of the building). I saw the scene below me unfolding, so I quickly adjusted the focus ring to hyperfocal distance and took two quick snaps. I liked the second shot better.

Quite honestly, Izzie, I didn't think of trying to clone out the cars.
Thank you for your comment and suggestion. It's something to investigate.

Cropped version looks better, very nice shot

Sergio,
I agree that the cropped version is excellent!
An interesting and unusual point of view with lovely leading lines from the left taking one's eyes right to the cyclists.
My only suggestion would be to clone out the lamp post up in the right hand corner of the picture.

Thanks, Robert. I've replaced the cropped version with an updated cloned version. Hopefully it looks OK.
Thanks for the comment and suggestion.
