oh, i get to be the first one to comment?;) love it, dave. genious.

LOL, funny introduction. Beautiful capture and PP. This shot confused the heck out of me, until I realised it was a water reflection shot turned on its side. It always intrigues me when for crop you put "kind of" or "minor".......

I really like the colors on this one, but the composition doesn't seem to work as well.... I keep turning my head sideways (your are officially a pain in my neck....just kidding)
great shot!

That´s great. I love this confusing shot. You´ve to look twice to get it. For me it´s much much better than yesterdays shot. I love this kind of photographs so much. For me the best shot of this week!

Jonathan: in this case "kind of" means it was originally shot in landscape mode, rotated into portrait mode, then the sky (now to the right of the bike) was stretched to put the shot back into a 3x2 landscape mode.

Benjamin: it just doesn't look half as interesting the right way round ;-)

lol! looks a bit like a praying mantis

I do quite a lot of cycling - given the price of petrol / diesel at the moment, this sort of makes me feel like the bike is there, all ripped and torn and bedraggled, only to rise up, and herald in a bright new dawn, of people cycling down to the newsagent instead of getting in their car for a 2 minute drive. No really, it does, it's not me just using this wonderful photo as a chance to get on my soapbox...

Awesome - took me ages to figure this one out. Funny caption too :) So who carries this one to the beach? You or John ;)

Wonderfully confusing. I'd hate to go swimming at a beach where you find washed up bicycles, but I'd love to take a walk there with a camera. Super smooth blues you got working there.

Marvellous idea and so well executed and presented.

Brilliant idea, and brilliant execution.

what have you been smoking recently?

This picture is fantastic. I think this is the best work you have done EVER!
I love the way you have made the water look like a mirrored wall.

I'm guessing there is some sort of reference in your description...hmmm...I can't quite place it. I could keep trying, but I guess I will just terminate my efforts ;-) Fantastic image again!

gorgeous.
great colors and composition

This looks like something out of Body Worlds - the Exhibition was here in Canada till Febuary.

Haha! Brilliant. You will never post pic in portrait orientation will ya? :)

Great ilusion, a clean image. How do you do this!?
I ride everywhere and every day in my bike so i hope they dont dissapear.

Brilliant.

Very creative and nice description, nice one David!

Wow, very creative idea! It does look a bit threatening.

That's almost exactly how I saw it! I did see more of a buglike mechanical being maybe, but close enough. Fantastic shot! Really love the flip. (Reminds me of those model-partly-submerged-and-pic-flipped type of shots.) It's so stunning that only a few words of the highest order are available for expresson and I've used all I have access to.

Hehehe - this one had me smiling. It almost looks like an insect of some sort holding on to the handlebars. Funny.

Nice photo! Congrats!!!

LMAO...What a great photo...Speechless.

I'll find ways to make BIG O look sexy one day...If you wondering who's Big O that's my Orange bike...hehe

Fun lil' story you had to Introduce your photo!

Cheers!

You have a great sense of humour. A bold composition that I envy you for, great.

Very nice and lovely picture! I dont think you need a nomination.

I'm very scared now, I'll have to put some more padlocks on the shed!

This is...for lack of a better word.... Fantastic!

took me a few seconds to realise that it was a reflection.
Its just Plain scary

its a robo-bike, dangerous :)

Very creative - well done!

Awesome.

Ah ha, now I like the crisp backdrop. Looks very studio. What I most like is the alteration to the perspective upon looking at your comparison. This definitely looks more intersting for that

Wonderful image! One of my favourites! Great work.

I have only just started visiting your blog. I have to say the standard you set is excellent, I love the variety and the quality leaps off the screen. This is not one of my favourites but is still well crafted, keep up the good work.

Absolutely wonderful - take it you're enjoying Dr Who too!

Made me think - and look twice. Always a good thing.

Thanks everyone.

This is a really interesting composition. I love the colours and how you have offset the bike from the middle of the frame.

Reminds me of Dalí.

excellent, very creative shot

Wonderful - where do you go to capture these moments?

I thought it was some type of hybrid fruitfly-grasshopper - I love the story you excecuted as well.

Exellent placement of the motive.
I like the creative usage of reflection and perspective within this picture.
Good to see beauty !

when i first saw it, i thought it was a photo of a sculpture hanging on the wall in a gallery. and then the truth slowly began to reveal itself. fabulous!

creative. very creative. thats all i can say. we can only dream to have visions like yours.

The reflection is almost perfect! Very cool!

I have to say that I am so in awe of your work. One of my freinds emailed me the web address of one of your pier photos and I have since been completely addicted to this site!
I enjoy all your work, especially the creative ones such as this photo, the landscapes and locations your very luck to have such a talent!
:D
