how fun! there is so much to look at that makes this image so interesting..the couple in all black with the black umbrella,
the two colorful bikes, the one way sign pointing toward the
couple, etc. etc.
Well composed. Interesting tone with the mustard yellow color. I do have to wonder, who's walking around with a bicycle back tire? ;^) Good luck in the challenge.
The brightly lit one-wheeled bicycle and one way sign draw my attention more than the couple in the background. Cropping to isolate your subject from distracting elements would have improved the image. It appears that you sharpened a little too much to make up for soft focus when the image was captured. In this case, emphasizing the soft look might have served you better.
I wish this had of been cropped just above the one way sign... the christmas lights at the top are very distracting... would be a fantastic pic without them.
Cute! I think it would be a great shot if it was cropped a bit. The heiniken sign and the bikes are distracting. Also, a tigheter crop would bring your couple closer.
I like the business of this scene - it is full of colors and everyday objects - but they all look somehow more special in the light of the central (on the 3rds line!) subjects who stand out in black with the umbrella - as if to help us see how much more beautiful the world looks when you are in love. All the horizontal and vertical lines frame the subjects well too - this picture is a delightful eyeful!
