Guo Jing The photo cleverly uses the geometric lines of the building’s glass dome to create a frame. The silhouette of the cyclist and the distant pedestrian form contrasts in size and depth, making the composition simple yet with a strong sense of space and the order and rhythm of the image are reinforced. Using black-and-white tones highlights the contrast of light and shadow, with light through the glass outlining the shapes. This creates a quiet, slightly nostalgic atmosphere, making the subject stand out and adding artistic appeal. By showing an everyday cycling scene and combining architectural space with human movement, it conveys a sense of daily life and the flow of time, evoking thoughts of ordinary moments and the rhythm of the city. It is simple yet leaves room for interpretation.
This photo was taken in a train station near Copenhagen, Denmark. A great moment where the wheel lined up perfectly with the movement of a man in the background.
