Velocipede

This is probably the most photographed bicicle in Scotland. This bicicle can be found to the side of the road on the drive down to Loch Etive in the Scottish Highlands.

I've had a little play with it in PS, messed with the colour, vignette applied etc.

All feedback is welcome and thanks for looking.

Gary.

Glad it hasn't been stolen or covered with graffiti - over here I doubt it would escape, sadly.
A very appealing image - the rusty bike, old fence, and dry grasses have a monotone scheme that works very well.
Nice!

Great clarity. The graphic nature of the bike and the background fence are nicely contrasted by the pop of color provided by the grasses. Congratulations on the WP.
