To me it is amazing how you track these moving objects and get them in focus well done !

Charles from New York, United States
Great shot. Nice panning technique really captures the sense of motion and the challenge of biking with an umbrella!

Frida from Sweden
Great motion capture, It's not easy to bicycle with an umbrella in rain and wind.

Il n'a pas peur de tomber ! Pas évident quand même de faire du vélo avec un parapluie ! Bien vu !

non dev'eseere semplice andare in bici con l'ombrello, bello il senso di movimento

Vélo et parapluie font toujours bon ménage en photographie. Celle-ci est particulièrement bien réussie. L'homme semble déterminé à arriver à destination...

Una imagen muy clasica. Es el momento justo porque has colocado muy bien al sujeto diferenciando los tonos de blanco y negro entre su ropa y la pared. Muy buena.

Darietto from Milan, Italy
Proprio bella la foto, il senso del movimento è riuscitissimo e non deve essere stato facile scattarla... tanto più che pioveva :) Complimenti

That's quite a catch my friend!!! Just remarkable, both photographically and technically!

I'm such a sucker for these bike photos. Can't wait for the rest of the series!

sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States
That would be very hard in the rain and holding the umbrella. He must be very familiar with the streets.

Wonderfully atmospheric image, the slight motion blur is excellent.

bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Love the motion and these dark tones...clever idea, biking with the umbrella :)

yz from Budapest, Hungary
wow, great motion image, also love the bw tones: the white patch of the umbrella against the black background and the black coat of the man against the light wall

martie from Somewhere, United States
Excellent tracing! It's a good choice for B&W with the lighting and the wet pavement.

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
As Laura has mentioned, above, there is a 'days-gone-by' feeling about this one but I cannot quite decide way ! Very pleasing.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Celle-ci joue beaucoup sur le coté amusant de la scène et sur le rendu de l'atmosphère... on sent qu'il est pressé de rentrer le monsieur. Cette série commence bien, j'attends les suivantes avec beaucoup d'intérêt... :-))

ce n'est pas évident de conduire un vélo avec un parapluie!
Bravo pour la prise, c'est excellent.

John Maslowski from Dallas, PA, United States
A perfectly timed and exposed shot. Exceptional B/W tones and contrasts. A beautiful mood to this composition.

JJ from Jersey City, United States
Well captured, riding a bike and holding an umbrella, could be challenging with slippery wet roads

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
You did a good panning on this one, there is a feeling of movement with the blur. Very good.

gavin hart from Gold Coast, Australia
OMG! Looks like a hazardous way to travel. It must be difficult to ride a bicycle holding an umbrella. Nice motion blur on the surroundings and the sparkle on the wet pavement looks good.

walter from Switzerland
cool shot ... I prefer to wear a helmet not an umbrella :)
