Picture taken while strolling around in the surrounding villages... My thought was that cycling along an alley of trees is as ordinary and mundane as it gets...
Originally in colour, when I cropped it the remaining sky was a little too bleak (the part closest to the horizon). Rather than spending this sunny afternoon correcting that in PS, I converted it to a monocrome color and added some sepia tones.

i really like the simplicty in this shot, and the repeition of the trees. i think the biker ads to the image.. perhap it could be a little darker, or higher contrast... but i still gave it an 8
What a great focal point and I like the way you have repetition/ symmetry in the image from the trees and then the asymmetrical from the lone cyclist. Good choice to include huge expanse of empty sky.
This is an excellent photograph. I love the low horizon and the choice of black and white here is a good one. The 'serendipity' bike rider in this photo really makes the image. Without that, there would not be much of a focal point. Good luck :)
I really like the simplicity in this shot. Your choice of B/W is a good one here!
I don't normally comment on titles, but I think in this case I will break my rule. Simply 'Going Somewhere' IMHO would be a much more effective title here! Nice work
