I have been asked to comment on this picture, so here goes. It is very stark. The contrast almost hurts the eyes when you look at it. It has washed out the sky and blackened the tree, neither of which adds to the artistry, in my view. The deep shadows hide the bikes, presumably the subjects, and so the picture looses something. I am not sure the original picture would be very dramatic, but the final outcome destroys the very beauty you ascribe to your God. It may be just me, but the picture doesn't do much for me.

Ya know....
to me, this is a Really cool shot.

I can see...from a "professional's" point of view...alot of "flaws" in this Photograph...and you sure pointed them out Mr crysophilax.

However, this is a really neat shot Amanda. Posted as it is. :-)

Not everybody has Photoshop, or knows how to "correctly set" their Digital camera.

To me the "Final outcome"...is what it is Amanda. A very nice shot.

Thanks for sharin it.

Nice shot. I like the silhouette of the tree, and the two bicylcles add a nice feel to this picture. Well done.
