October 7th, 2007 at 11:53 amAs the bike deteriorates, you have also captured how the earth absorbs and reclaims everything.

October 7th, 2007 at 2:08 pmFantastic shot David. Would like to know where this great bridge is though. It does make one realize just what an impact MAN has on this beautiful Earth. We are slowly destroying it, and if it doesn’t stop soon, there will be nowhere for man to live.
Great photo!!
39 going on 64, creaking bones and never enough sleep.

October 7th, 2007 at 3:06 pmMany thanks everyone for your comments and feedback. The shot is of the bridge over the River Medway near Strood in Kent, the bridge is actually the M2 motorway and the highspeed rail link

October 8th, 2007 at 7:25 amEveryone has said a lot about the image and there is nothing more to say. I particularly like the side by side existence of brown parched barren land with the delapidated bicycle signifying death surrounded by the green streach full of life. It clearly suggests that Precence of human activity as (personified by the bike)is detrimental to the environment.
On a technical standpoint, The wide angle lense and the placement of the bile on the third is really helping the image. You have gone overboard in saturating the colors, though that is just MY opinion. BTW did you combine two exposures to get the sky Right? -

October 8th, 2007 at 5:03 pmFrankly, the photo seems too enhanced to be real. Nice composition, but I rather see real colors.

October 9th, 2007 at 6:04 pmwow, this is just beautiful, David. I love the color contrast.

David Constable Says:
October 25th, 2007 at 4:08 pmStoneserenity so sorry to disappoint you, quite how the photo is “enhanced” other than to combine to exposures for the foreground and the sky i don’t know, the scene is fairly representative of what the shot was like due to the midday sun.
Post processing was just to combine both shots and sharpen .. if you want to see real colours either look at the shot or re-calibrate your monitor

November 8th, 2007 at 7:50 amI love this sort of contrast. Even though the bike is decaying and the motorway is speeding on, you can see nature all around still. The colours are just spectacular.
