Bike reflections, a photo from Hordaland, South

Photographer's Note

Last Sunday I walked these streets together with Craig (macjake) and Tosca (westcoastgirl1). This Sunday the weather was better. There was still some puddles left after the rain. The picture conveys some of the challenges of cyclists in Bergen - cobble stones and water. Photo cropped and turned.

Hej Erling,
En fin och smart komposition. Jag tycker mycket om den svarta siluetten av cyklisten med det vackra blå huset i bakgrunden och med de våta gatstenarna som ram. Det är mycket välgjort och i ett fint format.
Hälsningar från Stockholm,
Gert

Hi Erling,
congratulations for this very original reflection.
Good idea to rotate the image of 180 degrees.

Well seen!

Hello Erling,
Wow - this is very creative with lovely sharpness and colour in the reflection. The cyclist is very well positioned and super as a black silhouette.
Excellent and a favourite for me!
Kind Regards, Ann

Hello Erling,
beautiful setting, scene and colours, a very pleasing image that depicts a daily life scene in an artistic manner. You achieved exquisite definition and handled the light and the contrasts most skillfully. Even the cobblestone is very interesting, adding graphic charm and perspective. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Hello Erling,
It's great that you got to meet Craig and Tosca. I met them here in NYC a couple of years ago. This is my kind of photo. I love reflections, and this one has the extra bonus of having those cobblestones around it. I like the architecture and the human presence. Very nice! :-)

Hello Erling, very good picture of this beautiful and interesting composition with nice reflection in the puddle in the street, very well captured in this interesting image with good sharpness, light, color and quality.

Good night and happy start to the week.
Warm greetings from southern Spain.

Hej Erling,
en häftig och kreativ bild som kräver lite av betraktaren. Uppochner vända bilder har vi sett tidigare men den fina arkitekturen och cyklisten lyfter bilden betydligt. Skarp bild med fina färger, fint!

Hälsningar/
Boa

Hi Erling
Marvellous image! Your creative idea so well captured. There are many layers to this photo and what I like the most is the combination of the reflection and the cobblestones. The silhouetted cyclist is the cherry on the cake.
Enjoy your Sunday evening

Hello Erling ,
The reflection of the beautiful house in the puddle in the cobblestones is superb . But with the presence of the dark biker , that becomes a very creative and original shot .
bravo

A magnificent reflection and a precise moment taken, Erling.
Immaculate clear shot, and a well saturated blue and white tones. Sweet dream of any reflections-photographer...

Hello Erling,
fascinating the view as the presentation of the water pond with the reflection of the passing by biker to make the image even more effective.I like the almost sharp details of the scene.

Regards,Danos

adores (46979) 2015-04-22 16:39

Hi Erling!
This is a fabulous shot! The reflection of the houses would surely make a nice shot but the silhouette of the biker makes it just perfect. Perfectly framed, with great light and colours!

macjake (96157) 2015-04-26 3:25

Hi Erling
haha...yes, I have a few photos of your favorite blue building as well!

I just need more time until i download them that's all.

as we talked about, with all the rain in Bergen this scene shouldn't be all that hard to capture right?
haha

its great how I can now recognize the cities landmarks.

love the cobblestones and the cyclist, this one turned out pretty darn good!

see you around

PaulVDV (54925) 2015-04-28 11:11

Hello Erling,
I like the pictures of reflections in puddles very much.
Here the reflected image of the building on the corner is very clear and sharp. The surrounding cobblestones make the picture extra attractive. But there's also the silhouette of the biker in front of the building. That's certainly an added value of this photograph.
Well observed and executed.
Best regards, Paul

nikkitta (17070) 2015-04-30 14:47

Hola Erling

Great and well taken reflections where the presence of the motorman add dynamism, life and movement

Good idea to rotate the image making it more a creative shot
Regards
Maria

Hi Lars.
A masterful composition with these fantastic reflections in the pool of the street, great as is the nice house and the cyclist, which seems an apparition.
Very nice colorful, which gives a lot of appeal to the image.
Magnificent management brightness, sharpness is also perfect to enjoy with the details.
Very well seen and well taken.
Have a good weekend.
Best wishes.
Luis.

Ciao Erling
questa foto me la sono persa, per fortuna l'ho ritrovata, sarebbe stato un peccato non vederla, è molto bella.
Meraviglioso riflesso, la facciata e il cielo confondono i due blu, mentre la silhouette della bici irrompe dando una scossa alla composizione.
Saluti
Carlo
