true, interesting composition - kinda like a celebrity shot that is wide angled so that it shows them and the madness that surrounds them. also, im sure its a steep incline and perhaps they are fighting to maintain their cadence in their gear but the way they are angled together is almost akin to locking horns.
riding in NYC has me feeling like im part of the tour de france cavalcade if i squint sometimes :-)
im not bidding on the item but if you wish maybe post it to the list as im sure if anything they may be interested in the dynamics of the image and probably one of the more interesting compositions of the two "battling".
ciao, ben
