Well, it has a "wall of somthing" look about it, eh? <g>
Funny, but the guy wasn't going very fast at all - I mean look at the bike he's riding, pulling a trailer, and all bundled up with winter clothes. It was freaking cold that day, IIRC, and he was just puttering along at about 5 or 10 mph. It's just that I was actually hyperfocused at about f16, and I think it unexpectedly got a bit dark (cloud over the sun or some such). The LX was set to Auto, and I'm pretty sure the shutter speed was about 1/15th. It was ~slow~, anyway.
I kind of wish the bike and/or rider would have been a bit sharper, but the background and streetcar (some places call them trams) tracks in the foreground made such nice "speed lines", I kind of overlooked the fuzzy bike/rider.
It's really just a fun shot, and I like it in that context. I think it has potential, but I've got to think some more of what exactly I'm going to do with it.
BTW, thanks to everyone who commented on it (even those of you who didn't like it, or in whom the photo inspired grammatical glitches <LOL>).
Tomorrow, I should have something more "conventional" (sort of) to show <g>.
cheers, frank

It has a 'wall of death' type of look about it. Unusual.
