Biking on the Beach

I took this photo with my Canon 5D MK II this past Saturday on Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk on South Beach, Florida. ISO 800, f/18.0, 1/200 sec, EF14mm f/2.8L II USM. Evaluative Metering, Auto Exposure, Auto WB, No Flash. A touch of Topaz Adjust. Comments Welcome

Colors are great and I love the photo angle. Like the way you raised the beach above center and still kept the sky in play with the great cloud cover.

Auto WB, did you play with other options- nice image.

Hi Richard - love the angle of view and perspective - colours are great and the image really pops.
Congrats - like it a lot ;)

great angle and colors. just the right touch of topaz.

Certainly works for me! Are you shooting RAW?

Another Waas image that draws you in and holds your attention. Very creative.

Love it and can't think much to improve Big Congrats !!!!

Richard, I love the perspective on this image. The bike leads you right to the buildings. The filter application and interesting clouds complete a very strong image!

Thank you for all your supportive comments. Yes Jay, I shoot only in RAW.

Richard, I second all the positive comments posted here. I have to say that I'm quickly becoming a fan of your work! Every image I've seen has strong visual impact. Keep them coming!

Thanks Ron.....

Richard, this is top-notch work!!! Scott is the man! I have his CS4 and LR2 books. I love the deep focus technique and the superb composition and color rendition. The Topaz effect was applied in just the right way. Super!

Richard
Your images speak louder than my words ever could. Thanks for sharing. :)

All I can say is that if you didn't enter this one for the contest you made a mistake. Great details and composition.

Hi Richard...Near -far perspective is a real hook. great colors and clouds. You might consider cloning out the very bright cloud spot near the top edge but otherwise right on. I'm new to BPN and am a little embarassed to say i don't know what topaz is

Well done Mr. Waas,
I like it as presented...the color rendition and wide angle perspective is off the chart...proud of you...keep them coming...:cool:

How do you like your Scott Kelby training? You are on track...:D
