Shadow Ride

I took several shots of bikes today with their shadows. Near shots and far shots, and about 10 different bikes with different kinds of interesting shadows. At first I thought there might be a diptych or triptych here, or try a montage with 8 or so in image, but as I started playing with it, it wasn't coming together. I tried taking the original images and rotating them 90 degrees and stacking them so you had sideways bikes, horizontal across the frame. But it didn't look right, just busy mostly.

Then I accidentally flipped one of the images too far, 180 degrees, and bingo, there it was - a strange shadow bike riding across the frame. So I went back to my 10 or so bikes and rotated them all 180 degrees. I liked 4 of them, and wasn't sure which one to pick, so I picked the simplest of the lot. If you're interested, here's the set of all 4:
