Nothing personnel, I did not take the shot and I don 't know the shooter.. There has been some discussion onit's merits.
Please consider it baswed on the photography, not the content, if you can.

Maxim,
To me the sole redeeming quality of this image is it's interesting subject which looks like an entire family on one bicycle.
Other than that I don't think it's very good.

Thank you for the info. I don't know who owns the image, so I cannot ask for permission. My intention was to gather information on how people judge a photo.

In this case, you should have posted a link to the image - not the image.

Well I guess that would get round the rules, but I am not sure I care enough about the photo to do that.
Thanks to the poster who commented on it, I agreed with him.

Did anyone think it was a good photo?

Get rid of the graffiti. It's distracting.

Get rid of the photo. It's not yours and you don't have permission to post it. Rule #2 on this forum is that you do not post photos that do not belong to you, period. There are no exceptions.

Well you are a little ray of sunshine! If you read the previous comments you would know your advice has already been covered, by members less rude than yourself.

:lol:

About the photo, I don't think it is a good, as in "quality" shot. I wouldn't want to hang it on my wall.

I think it represents 'real life'. Sadly some are so far removed from the reality that others have to deal with on a daily biases to suggest to remove a part of the background (no disrespect Ottsy) would make it nothing more than 4 people on a bike. If anything should be removed it would be in my opinion the car's window the picture was shot through since it adds nothing.

Hate to disagree but I think "reality" is on a low rung of the photography ladder in regard to aesthetics. How many calendar pictures of the Jefferson Memorial have you seen where you know the photographer stripped off a branch of a nearby cherry tree and held it in front of the camera to "frame" the memorial, huh? So much for "reality." Or is that "enhancing reality?"

I think that would be enhancing, unlike the economical situation that forces four people to have to ride a bike together to get to school and work.

I think it is a good expressive shot. I have just imaged it, but it no way deviates from what you are trying to portray.
Cheers
Cecil
