One Hundred and Sixty - Cycling Shower


Another impossible choice - between two this time. This one is Sarah's choice; I think the alternative might just have the edge. But this one requires no explanation (apart from to say that the wood structure centre shot is a public toilet), whereas the other one, perhaps, doesn't make immediate sense.

(The alternative picture is a view from the back of the sports ground spectator seating. Some volleyball and football players are sheltering from the sudden heavy shower.)

  1. Well for me this is ok and the rain / sun effect is good but wait a minute.... ! The reserve is a knockout. Absolutely no detain in the fascinating sillouettes on the seats and the motocross bike give an amazing effect. The black shapes are so evenly speckled by the white rain it is hard to believe it is not a photoshop overlay! my only prob is with the green detail in the bush/tree to the left. would it be better without this to give the shadow figures the stage or is it better with to remind the viewer that this is a real scene. Miles better than the one chosen (Sorry S) Win :-)

  2. I could always do a swap - if enough people agree!

  3. NOT FAIR! I said it was an impossible choice! I think the symmetry of the two boys is very striking from the point of view of form. But I love the grandstand pic too. Disagree with Win about the green on the left- think it gives depth and context. Would be 2-dimensional behind all that rain otherwise

  4. Yay, another shivery rain shot! Sorry, nothing more profound to add. Big fan of the butterflies and moonrises too.
