A strange photo for today. I was walking along Poppelsdorfer allee in the morning and got fascinated by the sharp shadows. Ended up taking a picture of almost every bike parked there i think. But looking at the resulting photos now i see that i failed to make the shadows actually the subjects. They just don't stand out :( that's where the strange crop above comes from. 
Does it feel like the bike is actually moving for you? It certainly does for me.

  5. I click "Rate this: 5" and see 2 Votes and correctly calculated average. When I refresh a page stars are gone. If I revisit the page I only see one vote (4 stars).

    I'm on IE8

    oh well now I can't even post a comment.

  6. additionally, the same happens if I'm logged in with my google account. and the same happens when I try to rate from a list (the stars are updated etc, but if I go to individual article the rating is gone).

  7. I just came across your blog from over at PG's... I really enjoy your stuff, and have a similar affinity for flower shots. But I really like this one, too -- I think the crop enhances it, actually.

    A few weeks ago, I took a similar shot: http://www.crapmanagement.com/2009/05/skipper.html. I was shooting an assignment for a class, and the sun came out & that's when I saw the shadow...

    It was well before I saw your shot, but I think we could chalk it up to great minds thinking alike!
