Otley Town Cycle Race

Not sure if this is a good topic for monochrome as the cyclists wear very colourful outfits. However as I haven't posted an image for some time I thought I'd better do so or else face excommunication by the Master.

I love the way the 94 riders yes are boring a hole in the back of the other chap, great eye contact.

That's where hue and sat conversions come in, allow you to change relative tones easily

Re: Otley Town Cycle Race

This demonstrates why colour is not necessary. All the information is in the action.

Perhaps a tighter crop, taking out the chasing bunch works as another image.

Re: Otley Town Cycle Race

I like this a lot, I think it works very well in B&W, I also think that the composition is very well balanced.
Good work.
