Horse & Bike - C+C

This shot was taken on the return trip from my visit to the Irazu Volcano here in Costa Rica. As you can tell from the pic, there was a lot of fog, so I have no good pics of the crater, but I did manage to get a couple of pics I like, one of which is this one:

Maybe zoom in a bit more, or try to get in a lower angle, to "connect" with the shot

really liked it...

I wanted to test a variation for it...
What i did: set it bit more straight and turned B&W

[JoshuaSimPhotography]

Yeah that is exactly what I meant

Unfortunately, the last edit removed too much of the angle which carries the image's sense of movement. The angle of the road is not a tilted horizon to be corrected, if that was the intention. But, B&W is a good choice in this case as it helps focus attention on the "dance" between the two subjects.

I noticed that ...there is some added exertion on the side of the boy, which suggests an upward journey....
The edit is just an off-spring

 

[jfrabat]

How about this for a bit of a different look?



Unfortunately, the other guy's jacket has VERY little color, so I dedided to keep it like this...

 

[Frequency]

wow;i really like that

I think this is a case of the subject being more interesting than the photo. It's a great scene; a guy on a bicycle being pulled along by a horse, but the photo doesn't have much artistic merit (at least for me). The exposure is quite good apart from the hotspot on the back of the yellow coat and the swirling mist adds some more interest.

The scene is interesting, but the photo is not exciting enough considering what's going on in the shot.

Oh, and BTW, selective colouring will not make it any more artistic. It rarely makes anything more artistic. The highlighted yellow coat is not the most important part of that image, so the fact that it is the only thing left with colour makes little sense.
