[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken on (another) rainy day. I wish I had captured the gentleman's reflection a second earlier to avoid 'chopping' his head off :/

PP: rotating, autoleveling, darkening the corners, raising contrast a bit, clarify and noise reduction in Corel Paint Pro, framing, resizing.

Well, we have to cope with the situation we find. I'm not really disatified with the cropped head at all, Marija. It's an excellent shot, well spotted and - as I guess - had to be finished within a moment. Veeery well done presenting it vertically flipped, gives not only some more tension but at first glance a question to think about ;-)
Stunning, just stunning....
Take care,
Hauke

Well seen. You need an imaginative mind to see this - and of course to make it upside down to add to the curiosity. Surprising the 'chopped' head is not taking much from the picture Marija.
A treat
Mukesh

Marija, I like the clear reflection of this gentleman, and the crispness and clarity of this image given the fact that he is in motion. I admire your post-processing skills that added a unique twist to the shot.

Even with the head chopped off, this is still a good picture for the colours, the movement and the composition. Well done!

Hi,
It's a very creative phot and you've been successful in the PP. Well done & seen. TFS.
Regards,
Mohammadreza

Nicely done, Marija, and I like that we can see the real wheels upside down. Nice colours and very good reflection. Well done!

Very nice reflection even without part of his head.

Hi Marija,

Superb! Even with the head slightly cropped, it still looks fantastic!! Very sharp reflections and textures!
Well done!

Constantinos

very cool perspective with the reflections maria :)
well seen photo
the missing head doesn't bother me much in the composition, i think it actually works better not see the face here :)

You could have cloned out what was left of his head, Marija - and had the "headless bicyclist!" That would have been interesting, don't you think??? :O
Good sense of movement and splashes here - and the oranges and blues always work well together.

You owe me an email. ;)

Hugs,
Gayle

Such a great shot Marija, well done in every aspect..

Alaettin

Richesse graphique combinée à celle des couleurs....en font une grande photo....

Bonjour Marija,
Last week, leave for a small voyage, I missed this very good posting! Stunning reflection here! Only, the wheels with the bottom indicates reality to us. The composition looks like has surrealist collage. Your artistic eye sees the things in a different way! Very well done! Annie

Very creative and well done. Cheers to you. Jeffrey

Hmm.
Perfect.
Thank you.

Hello Marija... The pattern in composition is perfect... take care...

Can

I like the chopped off head. It gives an anonymous aspect.

Great complex composition and reflection. Really well balanced. The lines also work very well.

You're good Marija.

People allways like this kind of pictures with casual reflections. I ask me why... maybe inspires a magic moment not easy to find it... I don't know.

Well seen. I hope he didn't splash you.

Enric.

Hello. Great piece of work. Wonderful catch. Just perfect.
Well done. :O)

Hi Maria,
I missed that phot and just found it. Even with the head off I find this photo very nice. I like the warmt of the reflections over the coldness of the street. A great photo showing that after the rain there is always some sunshine coming. Very well done.
