Description
I woke up that morning with hopes for beautiful lenticular clouds, a nice magenta sun tone, and a BIG SUN rising. I got the exact opposite - stormy weather. Oh well, I still took a couple of photographs. I hope you like the selective dodging and burning. Anyone care to critique?

First off, very well composed. Your eye is instantly drawn to the bicyclist, and then the shadow leads into the water ripples, which really add a sense of motion. The beach jutting in on the left does a good job of balancing the rider out without being too distracting.
I think that black and white works well here, both in terms of adding a feeling to the piece and also for putting a little bit more focus on the great composition. I do feel like there's a bit too much negative space on the top right, but that's more of a personal preference, and not really an issue with the shot as a whole. You might be able to burn the wispy little cloud bits on the top right (set to midtones) to fill the shot in a bit more, unless of course it's intentional, in which case, ignore that <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="453" title="Wink/Razz"/>. All in all, well done! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
