Seen as a reflection in a wet, polished surface of the city pavement, the reflected image filling the entire frame, a standard road bicycle hangs upside down from the concrete, its wheels pointing toward the sky while rain drops float upward past the handlebars. The red rear light of the bike is flickering, and a single white pigeon stands on the 'sky' pavement, with wet reflections of the buildings shimmering on the concrete. The rooftops of a city are visible on the ground below, creating an inverted world. A 135mm lens from across the room captures the main figure isolated against a melted background, with the main figure cut by the frame edge, only part of it in the picture. Heavy overcast sky provides soft shadowless light and muted colours. Shot on medium format digital camera with fine grain, shallow depth of field, and cool color cast.
