John, this is a “Merida”, a middle (price) class “German engineered” – so they say on their web site – bike. I liked the contrast of the triangles in the bike and the stairs and handrails with the round shape of the tube.

Tyler, looking at my image with a bit more distance, I have to admit that those two elements are indeed distracting, especially as the support bar to the right is not only bright but fully reflecting the light. And while the cigarette stub to the left adds “urban” feeling to the image, the same thing to the right is again too bright and attracts more attention than necessary.

Oh well, good that I didn’t order a print yet.

Those reflected colors across the inside of the stainless “pipe” are striking. It makes me want to know what’s on the other side.

Lots of visual elements, textures and lines but somehow they seem to work together. The most distracting element for me is that support bar Tyler mentioned in his comment.

That’s an unusual image for you Markus, certainly in terms of the high contrast and saturated colours, but I would have been quite excited by the scene myself. It looks like a public place but the bike wasn’t locked!

I don’t recognize that make of bike – does that say “Meridian” on it? The yellow and blue streaks across the frame do it for me…nice.

My eyes keeps getting drawn to the supporting bar in the upper right-hand corner of the frame, and the discarded scrap of paper on the ground further down on the same side.

I look at the rest of the frame, and my eyes keep sliding back to the right. Strange.

Yes, Paul, it’s only the overly snobby who would deny this.

Well, Martina, this is a free country (even Bavaria), and everyone is allowed to embarass oneself to the best of his abilities!

Markus, that’s funny. Bavarian rednecks! I guess every culture has them.

The wire frame in fact is a bicycle stand, Colin! It certainly has seen better years, now it’s completely rusty and the slight blur induced by the wide f-stop really makes it soar above the grey asphalt.

I am somewhat concerned that it might be too intensive – on my calibrated monitor it looks ok however. But for symbolising loneliness or solitude, bluishness should be the adequate color.
