A photographic assignment in Small Format class called for us (the student), to capture an image that conveyed the shape of our roads- one that had a human element. I chose this image because I felt it portrayed, not only the physical shape of our roads, but also the character of those that tread – or in this case pedaled- upon them. The character of those that speaks of a fighting spirit, and brings to mind the old adage – ‘life on the beaten-trail’.
Anna, I like your photo of the start (I guess) of the bike race. I especially like the fact that the riders were on the upper third of the photo. This positioning adds for drama. I can just feel the tension as they wait for the start.
Here is a link that explains a little bit , the purpose of the bicycle race – featured in some of my posts, for those that asked for more info on the subject. Enjoy.
