Keeping off is the easy part. Getting on is the hard one. Nice capture here. B&W adds interest. I like the sharpness. Very nice indeed. Cheers.

That's a very nice penny-farthing. Those things are rare nowadays and you certainly don't see them parked on the curbside, having recently been ridden. A nice find, indeed!

    Thank you very much. It's called a penny-farthing? I never knew that. Now I have learned something today. Thank you.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


My hat goes off to you! I LOVE THE TILT.

In the past I had posted a contest to "TILT IT" (get your butt outta that rut and tilt it). This works and how I wish other students of photography would study this and see the beauty of your artistic vision.

Monochrome was the way to go for colour would have added visual confusion , with monocrome we know the focal point and we feel the tilt and the tilt is going the same way the wheels are pointing. This is really well done.

In our photo club we have a Nat Geo photographer who did a stint in Korea. When he came back from his shoot he showed us his photos and there were many with tilts and they were great, ever since then I tilt many an image.

Again, I take my hat off to you and thank you for this post. I hope you do not get hammered for the tilt. Stay true to your artistic angel sitting there on your shoulder.

    Thank you very, very much. So far, no negative mention of the tilt. Maybe because my notes stated that I liked it that way.
    One person said it should be in color. lol Thank you once again for your great review. Your opinions (good or bad) mean a great deal to me.

A very fine shot . I don't mind the slant of the street so much as the merge of the small tire with the edge of the frame. A very good black and white presentation. Best of luck in the contest.

Very nice. I like the way you photographed this at a skew,, it adds interest to the photo. I also like that you did it in black and white. It took me a while to figure out why you titled it Keep Off, very subtle. Good luck in the contest.

Your picture of the bicycle is good in black and white, but it would had been better in color. This would have brought life into the picture that would have brought life all the bicycle.
You are good at what you do let not only be good. but be the best that you can be.

    Thank you very much for reviewing my work. I believe that sometimes color only serves as a distraction. Thank you again for your comments. I always appreciate suggestions even if I do not agree with them. They may plant a seed for the future. Sandra
