Well done; one of my favorites of yours. Of course the look on the right is great but I'm drawn to the city scape behind the biker. Very nice.

However the desaturation looks like selective color since the scene was so grey to start with. I think I'd prefer it either original or B/W but not in between.

It seems as if photos just "come together" for you. Every one I have seen is perfectly timed and taken at the right time.

The graffiti truck is really cool. I think it adds a lot of interest to the photo.

nice work.

Thanks for looking and for the comments! Much appreciated.

Hoff, I see what you mean. The cyclist on the right had an extremely fluorescent orange vest on that still stands out even when desaturated. Perhaps I should have locally toned down that color even more to lend balance to the photo. On the other hand, it presents a another strong element for the eye to be pulled to. I will work on a B/W version, let's see how that turns out ;)

Boucha, I was very lucky to have that truck pass when I took the shot. :D

Kaushik, thanks and welcome to the forum! Let's hope Die Mannschaft do well in a few hours.

scene ahead from your bike

You're photos amaze me. As said, they are always perfectly timed... They seem to tell a story, rather than just show a point in time.

Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Yet another intriguing image! :D

There's real definition between the foreground and the background.

My eyes keep on wanting to wonder off down the street and discover some more of NYC ...

Thanks marie! Actually I was on foot during this capture, taken several months ago.

Love this one! The orange vest doesn't bother me too much, but what I really like about this shot is the city in the background! It has that unreal animation look, beautiful.
