I like this...the curve of the dirt road, the hills, the bike in the foreground. Nice shot composition. It works well in monochrome.

The rounded knolls, smooth grass and narrow dirt road give the shot a soft appeal.
The bike adds interest to that feel nicely though. Comfortable persective. I do find the overhanging tree in the upper right corner a bit distracting. All in all great capture.

Rick - Love this capture. The meandering dusty road, the bike, the fields of golden hay. This is a WYETH! You are leveling up to grand art with each submission. I love this in B&W. I don't think color would have done anything to improve the subtleness of this great shot. Love the trees and hills in background. Great contrast between the sky and the hills. Spot on shot! Thanks for sharing!

Stu,Ed,Tim...I appreciate the feedback on this. I have to admit...I really learned something about high contrast while post editing this capture.Very harsh light captured on this sunny afternoon ride. B/W gives more flexibility. :O)

With regards,
Rick
