Magical light, the best, at sunrise, with lovely mist shrouding the canopy of trees and their branches. A cyclist as a silhouette on an early morning ride caught beautifully in the gap of trees. Great moments are often shot at this time of day, and this is a fantastic example.

I liked this shot as the interest isn't just on the bicycle, but on the four boys and the puppy too. Nice plain grey mud background, the boys and the bike stand out with no confusing background. Sometimes the most simplest of shots are the better ones.

This image was a striking one which stood out for me, due to the graphic nature of the subject, and being converted to black and white has helped. The head of the person looking up at the sphere is everything. All the elements in this image are required, otherwise it just wouldn't work.
