City Competition 1 2014 - all cities! : Entry Number 237

The superb composition of geometrical elements, which is unified by the individual textures in each component of the image and the overlay of snow, really makes this image sing. The biker who stands out in the image because the motion blur helps add a human component that tells the viewers this is a city image, but perhaps more importantly, he or she travels through the image on not just a path, but also on the visual path of the composition that a viewers eye travels, and this helps complete the image.

The man on the bicycle is passing through a park in Berlin, the weather is a mix of rain, snow and hard winds. I was overlooking the park seeing the snow creating patterns and stood there waiting for people going to work. Leica Monochrome, Summicron 35/2.0m, post processing in LR5.
