Is this good?

Posted on September 6, 2013 by Paul Ottaviano

My friend thinks this photo is good, despite my obvious mistake, because in her opinion sometimes “what isn’t seen is what makes it interesting.”

What do you think?

Love the composition and the shutter speed is just right 🙂

What’s your obvious mistake. I like it.

  Thank you. 🙂
  
  I had some reservations about a headless bicyclist. My intention in the moment was to capture her face riding through the water fountain. Just before the shot my attention was elsewhere and I didn’t get the camera framed properly in time. Then again, based on the reaction here, it seems to be a fortuitous winner. I’m learning to love this photo.

    Haha! I think having her face in the picture would distract from the focal point. 🙂
