It's not a mad dog or a bad wife, Wolfgang, just shades of gray.

You seemed to have come out on top, nevertheless. The lighting is quite dramatic, although I'm not sure if it suits the imagery. I get the thing about contrast and such but I can't get my head around any concept.

Hi,

dealing with Black and White ...



Covering up the top left elements of a window, it seems, makes a strong composition. when that happens it means that something could have been structurally wrong with the composition as it is presented.

The shiny steel of the bike rack and the abstracted modernistic "bike" form are sufficient in themselves and have a sense of purity of form on their own.

Yeah. That's what I was thinking. I just thought Wolfie could discover it for himself.

HI,

I'll think about it ... ;-)

but: I like the strict fixation of movement(-forms) in contrast to the window.
Besides that the light would not make any sense to me without the window as its source.

Wolfgang,

It does not need reasons for the great light. Incomplete statements allow the brain to complete the circle of reasoning. That makes the best statements and the best art, where you leave room for us!

The lines are so clean, that the steel stands perfectly without all the explanations being given!

It's growing on me, Wolfie.
The more I ponder the more the window makes sense. Not as a simple light source but as a connection to another place, an incomplete place. The mystery is added to by the small but insufficient detail of the window.

Super contemporary and sleek. I for one love everything about this photo- Nothing like chrome and black to stand in high performance. A frame indeed would so fit this!
