I passed this guy while riding my bike....and then thought, "that would be a cool photo...", so I turned my bike around, grabbed my camera, and took the photo without him realizing I had done so...would have ruined the photo if he saw me.
By the way, taking photos while riding a bike is not easy. I have yet to figure out a good way to carry my camera for easy access while riding a bike. Always have to stop, get off the bike, take my backpack off, unload the camera, and then finally take the shot...by that time, what I want to take a photo of has usually lost its impact...some money could be made coming up with a good system for photographers on bikes...

Awesome photo!
I agree completely. My mom used to have a hard case that sort of wrapped around the camera body and left the strap free to hang around her body. Still a little work involved, but a lot quicker than removing a camera from it's backpack. I haven't seen one in years though.
I agree, and this could be a good entry for an Archibald Prize if you painted this yourself. Maybe you could.
This is more than just a cool picture. It has Artistic photo sense in this.
Glad to see you here in Skywatch as I used to be actively following your photoblog.

This photo I love, what did you do to make it look like a super realist painting?
Great shot. I admire and appreciate all you have to do to take the photos on a bike.
