Cycling across the square

Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 16 October 2013 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

One of the many cyclists in Delft. I loved the way some of the ladies decorated the baskets on their bikes with garlands of flowers, although most of the garlands were artificial they still looked lovely.

Canon EOS 60D 1/30 second F/11.0 ISO 200 51 mm

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.
