Fair comment, B.D.  I have others without the cyclist, but as we were choosing
the shot for their wall, we kept coming back to this one. The others looked a
little bland without the bike.
It is very easy to remove it, but it will remain. When the bike is moved to the
side there is a conflict with the lamp post. As it is, it may be that it is a
mutifaceted image, with more points of interest than the couple. I am also a
little confused about it, but the LUG is a good place to get feed-back.

I will post an alternate image within the nexy few minutes. Would welcome your
comments.

Thanks, mate,
Rob
