RIDING INTO SPRING
~ monthly theme "Anticipating Spring" ~

A re-post of an image I originally posted in JAN. My wife and youngest son Henry biking ahead of me on the Fox River Trail - one of our favorite spring/summer family activities (this capture while I too was riding). This repost includes a refined crop and selective erase of the radial zoom blur I added in PS - seems to work with the perspective and wider angle.

F/5.6, 1/80s, ISO-400, Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens at 18mm.

Thanks Sharon, Jeffrey & Kate, for your kind comments. My first posting of this image was pretty much out of the camera with the radial zoom blur added. I was so tickled with the effect, I posted it right away. This repost includes a more suitable crop and selective erase of the blur layer. Much better I think.
Patience in all things. . .
Best Regards, Steven #4106412
