There's something about seeing someone on a bike that suggests to me a spirit of liberty, relaxation and a joy of life, particularly when it is on a beach. Thanks for looking.

Interesting take on the theme, Cary. Going b&w here really emphasizes the bicyclist and lets the sea coordinate well with the sky. Well seen.

A happy image - straightforward, uncluttered and very effective - the perfect aaahhhh! :smile:

Definitely a peaceful mood in this scene, Carey. B&w works well with this shot also as it puts the focus on the cycler.
