Description

This is one of those pictures you take because something tells you to take the shot. A cyclist crossing the bridge overhead that is at the end of the Riverwalk I was shooting in to the sun as dusk was setting in. Did not expect it to turn out but kept shooting as he crossed the bridge. The only thing I did was add the frame which is more part of the picture then a frame.
