Wow . . . looks like the re-size / upload made it darker than I anticipated . . . perhaps split the difference.

Wow Paul . . . a great image and the bicycle accent certainly draws attention to the sharp focus of the silhouettes. The ground surface is almost uniformly rounded which I find distinctive . . . though not unreal. It almost gives a feel of "people of the World" - a microcosm of humanity on the curved surface of the planet.
---I think (since this is a cc image) that I would have tried to adjust the light levels in the sky to pull out more of the color . . . even if just a little. The black balance is too low for the sky and a gentle nudge upwards gives a dramatic change. Same holds true for the midtones. Attached is an example for your perusal.
---All in all . . . a great image. Well done Paul!
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

This is very nice Paul, the one thing that really catches my eye is the fellow on the bike. Don.

Yes, this is Gasworks Park, on the northern edge of Union lake, looking south across the lake yields a fantastic view of downtown Seattle, which is what all these people are enjoying.

Two cranes, the caged ladder and the folks gawking are ok... the image is nice... but it is that single bloke on the bike that stamps, "Look!" to this shot. There is a scene in the recent movie, "The Gratest Game Ever Played" that is similar. Everyone is doing something and then there is one man/image that stands out from the others and grabs centre (for me Brit pals) stage. The fella on the bike.... that is great stuff.
