About the Image(s)

I was walking down at the beach and came across this bike parked behind someones house. I took the shot basically looking down the alley. I was attracted to the shot by all the white on white variations. I have done nothing to this image. It is straight out of camera. I would love to know how everyone here would make it great (or maybe you will say trash it Jess. There's nothing here). I think it has potential.

I like Robert's idea of a crop and red seat,but of course then it would no longer be white on white. I think I would crop even more from the right leaving just the angled pipes and front tire,from the top and up to the bikestand. Also clone out most of the green weeds I only cloned out a few I added more to the left side and tried to clone the tire back in   Posted: 07/05/2017 20:03:55

I personally do not see in this picture anything special. But I like Robert suggestion and also try to make it horizontal.   Posted: 07/06/2017 00:56:54

Thanks for the opportunity for us to try our own interpretation of this image. I'm not sure I see a great photo here, but I do like Robert's red seat. Have you thought of bw? Here is my version, bw, increasing the contrast and cropping. I do wish there was more room at the front of the bike as no matter how you crop it, the bike feels too crowded on the left in my opinion.   Posted: 07/08/2017 12:41:26

I like the angles and wheel-arc in this image. But, the bicycle, as it stands, doesn't offer much to me of interest. I might crop to leave only the angles of the partial frame, the bike rack and the wheel. Rotating the image after trimming to the simplest lines, and perhaps adding color, could make a very interesting study.   Posted: 07/11/2017 11:25:55
