Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[summerdays]

I sort of lost track of time especially as I lost internet connection for 5 days in the middle. OK so you have until tomorrow morning for last submissions .... though I don't think there are any shadows to be had here today! @potsy - have you remembered that you have to enter to be able to win????

Lack of sun has hindered my recent attempts, here's my first effort which I was hoping to improve on

Lack of sun was a limiting factor although summer and summerdays could reasonably have expected better!

Any thoughts on this thread then!! It seems to have died and although I'm not the greatest photographer it's certainly 1 I like to take part in just for fun!

@summerdays is one of the more active members of this thread so she won't let it die, probably away or having computer issues.
Saying that, there does seem to be a more 'relaxed' attitude to the deadline when the women are in charge of the judging

Sorry Home life took over!!! Kids suddenly needed Mum to run around after them, and then followed up by a sickness bug (them not me), has kept me away from the computer.

And dead lines - I'm not very good with them - never have been, I was one of those kids up till late the night before homework was due in or if it was the right teacher then smiles and apologies could gain you some extra time. Never learnt my lesson though!

Oh no I've just spent ages typing in my great ramblings on the artistic merit of each of my favourite photos and then I accidentally deleted it all!!!!

So the shortened version....
I had 7 on my short list. Excluded the first one that made me smirk (you know which one!), and I liked Jo's textured ones too. Commendations to ianrauk's first shot, matthat, and Reiver..... so that leaves the winner as...... Potsy (£50 please ), for producing a photo of a midget on an enormous bike.

I particularly liked those shadows where the shadow was a distorted version of the original (I'm hoping that is the case for @potsy ).
