This will be a start of a new series focusing on life’s details.
In this shot, I really like how the sun rays pierces through the foliage breaking the morning. Reminds me of the song by Cat Stevens…
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Have good morning and day ahead!
Blessings.

Brilliant shot - I love the person on the bike - it makes an already good photo and adds that one extra element that brings it together. I was listening to a little Cat Stevens myself just a day or two ago.

hey .. beutifull ...perfect composition of lights & shades.
to my capture: i know what you mean but in this capture was the sun too bright (bad play with brightness & darkness). without sign in sun, they saw a dark square with a very bright point
