Lover's travelled by....

...bicycle to the fields alongside the River Ribble at Brockholes. They were in the grass out of eyesight to the left (and probably best left to themselves...) so instead, the bicycles on which they rode for their liaison were my chosen subject. I just liked the way the evening light helped along with a a few tweaks made this maybe just a touch romantic?

Very nice scene and well composed shot.

Is that the Vicars bike I see there? And the Post Mistress, if I'm not mistaken.

I very much like the idea of this one, but for me it just doesn't work very well.

 

The processing etc is well up to your usual standard and that evening Lancashire light is lovely, but without your explanation the image doesn't stand on its own - it should tell a story, but it doesn't.

 

Sorry to be negative on this one, Paul.

i disagree Korky, i think an image should either tell a story OR fire the imagination into creating a story , this one does the latter for me. Sets my mind wondering, who are they.. where have they gone .....( ignoring the explanation given). I could stand looking at this and create loads of different  romantic background storys in my head just by looking at it

I agree - it's got great potential, but the "two bikes" aren't clear enough as such, to tell the story that deserves to be told.

I guess they're busy making crop circles then!

Well this one has evoked some diverse responses - so job done. If it makes you discuss, it's had an effect. 

 

Thanks all for your views, interesting to read them.

Those two bikes would not have sat there for long in Cambridge without at least one being pinched...lol.

 

I used to have an old sit up and beg bike years ago, sadly mine never knew the joys of being parked up against the fence as it had two kids seat on it...one on the front and one on the back....no wonder I used to look like a stick insect,...
