As I drove out of Exeter this afternoon I kept my eyes peeled for suitable photo opportunities and when I saw this green door (or what used to be a green door!) I parked up and grabbed my camera. As I got in position this girl walked past with her bike, deep in thought and I had a split second to shoot while she was still in the frame. I also took a few shots without her but for some reason this first image was the one that stood out for me.

...Beautiful ! like it......love windows and doors :o) ciao borogovoi · 2011-04-09: 13:25

Excellent! I love getting those split second challenges. Usually miss though. In my favorites. caroleagle · 2011-04-09: 13:41

Excellent capture, and the girl with the bike is a perfect complement to the composition! lgnelson · 2011-04-09: 13:43

... and her reflection ads something to the image as well I think ... Ryana · 2011-04-09: 13:48

I agree with everyone lol, and I would add that the old door and brickwork beside the modern bicycle is a nice contrast McMommy · 2011-04-09: 14:52
