Looking down at a busy interesection in the city of Shenyang the shadows of cyclists are twice as long as they are tall. Just before sundown in mid winter. The temperature out there is around minus 12 celcius.

really cool composition, the shadows of the bikes are captivating. I really like the yellow light flooding the street... Interesting contrast with the one biker traveling the other way... i guess he likes to be different. Nice work.

This really is a great shot, Murray. The colours, composition, shadows - it all comes together to create a well-seen and very 'arty' shot.

Very, very nice. Sometimes less is more. I found my eye going around the picture and distracted by the upper left cyclist. Perhaps crop down to the lower two.
John

Wow.!
That looks great, Murray. Very well captured moment.
All three going in different direction. One pitty, the shadows at the bottom are not fully on.
Cant have it all. But imo a day winner.
Cheers from Jan

Prefect as is Murray, no cropping please. A very effective result with good light and shadows and the grain adds a nice dimension. TFS,

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Tamar Tides IV’

Hi Murray,

Amazing play of light and a great composition, intriguing effect from movement in two directions...
Nice use of the principle of three!
