    The Red Bullet

    We have passed this tricycle many times and not taken much notice. I thought it must have been a grand bike in its day. C&C welcome.

    That tricycle looks like it has given its owner a lot of pleasure in the past. They certainly do not make them like that any more.

    From an image standpoint, the thing that strikes me immediately is that there is a focus issue. The rear wheel is where my eye lands and it is not sharp. I suspect that your camera selected the wrong place to focus and you ended up with a back focus. As a general rule, the place where the viewer's eye lands needs to be in sharp focus, otherwise it becomes a distracting element. Usually anything behind that point can be a bit softer and our visual system accepts that.

    The point of focus seems, to me, to be on the seat and a bit beyond. It has picked up sharpness in the far rear wheel. I think a smaller aperture might have helped.

    I would like another shot of the trike's locational context - I am trying to figure out what the frame is that it attached to and why it is there...

    Thread takes me back to my "trike" I rode when I was five. Ahhh, life was simple then.

    I think the 'trike' is securely anchored and the stand looks like a very old bicycle stand. I think it may be placed as a work of art. May it stand for many more years.

    I used my Fuji x100f in a kneeling position right eye closed using one hand, tongue left cheek attempting to focus on the seat.

    I love this trike!

    I think it is a great piece of art memorabilia and I hope it lasts a long time too!
