this is what i gathered from this photo
A dark and grim day, but the he must still deliver, or will not have money,
money for his house, his family; his dying mother, his sickly kids, his wife who supports him.

Not enough to fulfill his life long dream...
no... he will not end up as a person who changed the lives of many, but he will end up changing his life.....

I love the crack on the bottom that's what grabs my attention, then the lines on the street just lead me up to the bike. I also love the leading lines by the drain and how they point to the bike. Nice use of negative space as well.

This is an awsome photo. I really love the texture of the pavment and the over all color of the photo. I also like how the drain is kinda off to the side and all and its not completley centered. This photo also makes me think whats down the drain and the photo is just mysterious in itself. Very nice work.

Wow a dedication that’s a surprise, very nice one. Actually it’s the second one involving the subject ‘bike’… but in this case there’s more. All the elements concur to the idea of ‘fragment’ –especially that grid ‘slightly out of the frame’, like linked to that other part at the bottom on the opposite side which is ‘slightly in the frame’, one pointed by that sort of arrow and the other one by the crack in the concrete. There’s a subtle geometry, a sort of a symbolic structure… anyway, good mood, tone, plus I like the dark behind the bike on the right side, like a ‘gate’ to somewhere else –I find it close to the idea in follow the yellow.

This would be a very good one by itself, even without the dedication so it’s definitely a double for me. Thank you so much, this is very appreciated.

Always good to look your deviations!

I dont know why i always see arrows in pictures.. there's one pointing towards the grill!

Really like the crack in the concrete! the tones gratient very natural and rustic! The banana bike is really "discret" but its saying " hey im there! look at me! "

i dont really mind the cropping of the grill.. wouldnt change much if it was complete.. its the whole recipe that's cook the eyes

Congrats again!

Very Nicely done. I have to agree about the drain being cut off by the frame however. Other than that, great Photo.

I like this picture for several reasons: The tones, the simplicity, the vintage bike, the monotone, the-as-allways good use of negative space. The only nitpick I have here, is the metal cover, which is cut by the frame. Although the crop made it bearable, as it is a tight vertical crop, the fact that the cover even touches the frame distracts the eye a bit, and pushes it back to the cover - leaving the bike in the background.

tell me... what cammera and lenses do you use? (or better yet, note me some suggestions for what I should buy in case I pass my finals )

Man! That picture looks grim. Excellent use of black and white strong contrasts. I also like the comparison of the curvy happy bike tucked into the corner, eclipsed by the rigid griddiness of the drain. The bike isn't even allowed to overshadow the bike rack, or the square on the floor.
