    What if they are taking the picture?

    Ask MF if he's ever heard of selfies....

    Can you imagine gormless SC or MM1?

    The thread title is a real give away.

    Selfies, for the vain and educationally challenged

    For my bike? Fair play to that.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not a fan of the selfie, just surprised there aren't any on here.

    Big ride from Cambs to Brighton. Gloomy till London then clouds gave way to sun for leg 2.

    Standard pier photo. Remainder are gluttonous selfies and some professional on Ditchling so won't put you through that.

    Absolutely crap pictures, either take one of the pier, the bike or the railings. But not all 3.

    Can't disagree with that. Unfortunately it was a long old ride and couldn't be arsed by the time I got there. Went for a swim instead of working the angles.

    A quick google map says about 120 miles would love to see the Strava route

    Since criticism seems to be okay, the bike should be in the bottom right corner going into the photo, not out of it.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    There were people, and a badly parked car to the right. Otherwise you’re quite right. I’m left handed, and my eyes tend to be drawn to the left side of photos naturally first, so if I’m doing a subject gradiated photo, the main subject is usually on the left.

    FFS who cares! Way too much criticism on this forum, it seems to have gone from posting a quick photo from a ride to a competition to display the ultimate framed photo and God forbid anything should be a mm out of place.

    It does kind of matter as it's nice to be able to take good photos and it's also nice when people appreciate them. A bit of criticism helps one improve. After all, photos are easy to take more of when you're next out.

    Anyway, in MM1's photo, although the position of the bike is a bit weird, the bars lead up to a trail of people walking into the sea, which draws the eye away from the rather bleak looking low tide spot in the center of the photo.
