[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In China I had the opportunity to go on a bike ride with my co workers and friends..we rode through small villages and in areas which were very poor. I took this shot because it showed the traditional temple in the back and the great amount of rubble found from building which had been torn down.

Hi Roger, congratulations for this great work. Nice, very nice. I like it

Looks like the kind of hoodlums I hang around! HAHA! I love to see people on bikes, at all ages. It's not just for kids! The BW works great here Roger. I wonder how the color would look in HDR? Hmmmmmm I would love to try it from the RAW image. This is nice! Cool looking gang!

Hi Roger

China can be hard work to travel in, but the photographic rewards make it all worthwhile. I've been there 6 times now, & US customs asked me why? I just truthfully responded, because it's so big, & there's so much to see. Not possible in a single 2 week vacation. Good sharpness & tonal range in this superb group portrait of the bikers. Tfs!

Hello!
Cyclists' interesting portrait.
Wonderful POV,good sharpness and tone in b&w.
Greetings

It sounds like a great day!! I like the very good focus and detail of the bikers. Good dof. TFS

great group portrait! i like the pov and your choice of bw- nice work!

Hi Roger,
Fine shot of your colleagues there, I like the traditional Chinese buildings in the background. As always, technically a perfect exposition, sharpness is outstanding on the people. TFS!
Greetings,
