Along many waterways in Holland we have many little roads of class two. For small traffic and bikers.

Like this tipical Dutch couple is showing us..The master in front .. with the road map under his nose he is the leader of this small 'pack' ^_^

This sort of bikes we see often now and than and they are called 'Tandem' An extended frame a two-sitter.
They pass here a landmark *47.9* ( I think it measures hectometers; 1-10 of a kilometer )

So.. Dutch bikers along the canal where we where
bracken with our boat

Taken with MAX zoom over large distance from our boat on water; ( always a problem ...)
Hope you still like it.. It was the funny situation that caught my eye.
(See the 'raw' one in Workshop)



Kind regards Folks and Aufwiederschnitzel

Hi John,
Nicely captured and composed. This seems to be not your great picture, feel like it is a bit OE and needs to be sharpened. Have a nice weekend and don't work too hard...

Hi John,

Very beautiful daily life photo with this nice couple enjoying the beauty of Holland. I like your composition and the PP you've done is creating a very interesting photo.
I'm not sure if you seen my comment the way I entered it. But thanks a lot for the very nice workshop you've done for my church photo. It's excellent.
Greetings

Hi dear bro, very well done! I looked into your ws and I prefer this one. You did a good job on the zoom :)

Nice decisive moment here and funny with the map on the bike! Your words "leader of the pack" made me smile, you men! ;))

Tfs and have a great day! sis :)

Zo herkenbaar John en toch blijven het leuke foto's...hoe is het met Don.

Very nice relaxing shot John
This looks like a place to bike and just get rid of stress.
Well done as usual my friend
Thank you for sharing it

Hi John,
Very good phpto.lovely models and good exposure. pov, colours, composition and frame are great.
Best regards,
Deniz.

Hello JT,

Considering the zoom factor a remarkably clear photo. I have seen a few tandem cyclists here but I think with the hilly terrain they would be far better off cycling alone. Love the map on the front of the bike. TFS,
David

Nice observation John, a very 'Dutch' scene.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi John,

You'll never see something like this in Athens. :( Not yet anyway...
Lovely and affectionate composition! I like how you've left space on the right side of the photo, showing us their direction.
Very wll done!

Another good example of what can be done in post processing. In this case just a crop (zoom) was necessary to take a shot from medicre to great!

Let me add points to your work,i will not add mawkishness words for your image.I give this possible to others....

Hi John,
Do you bike too, my friend? Maybe not, you're a boat man...
Very nice situation report, and the detail with the map is funny but practical too!
Nicely composed, good colours and fine details in spite of harsh sunlight...

Halo John,

Herrliche Farben und in der Straßenkarte kann man fast lesen. Super Bild gefällt mir sehr.
Danke und schöne Grüsse

Hello John

This post brings to mind an old song with the chorus:

Daisy Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage,
But you'll look sweet on the seat
Of a bicycle built for two !

Lovely shot with a fresh, summery atmosphere. It's cold and wet this weekend in New Zealand, but Spring is just around the corner with Summer close on it's heels! :-)

Hi John,
This is a cool and very funny photo my friend.
I like your pov,dof,composition,colors,frame and note.TFS
