How/Why I Did It: On holiday in Spain
recently, I came upon this bicycle outside a florists in the small town
of Xátiva. I thought it was colourful as it was, but a little work in
Lightroom (pushing the clarity, vibrance and sharpening above what I
would normally use) has lifted it further. |

I like this - a
very pleasing image, well taken and processed: not a lot to add really!
Perhaps the flowers in the front basket are a bit light and tending to
be lost against the stonework? |

This comes over as completely natural, so
the post processing work has been done well. Photos of similarly
decorated bicycles must have been taken by many photographers, but the
subject is still enticing and makes good picture. The rough
textured block wall contrasts rather nicely with the smooth floor
tiling, and it is good that there is nothing else in the picture.
Apart from the flat tyres and the lack of a chain, the bicycle looks
like it could be ridden away immediately, although maybe the basket
might rub a little on the back tyre! |

The treatment given in Lightroom has
helped give this image impact. I am not sure whether it is the slight
high key effect or the pastel shading of the bike frame but what ever
it is it has worked. I wondered if a crop to remove the top layer of
bricks is worth considering to give more attention to the bike. |

I love the
colour and the simplicity of this shot. Lovely detail. I did
wonder if the pavement tiles would be better less vibrant as they seem
to dominate the picture and perhaps not crop quite as close to the
front wheel of the bike. |
