Hand made orange on purpose. 🙂
And the crank arm isn't either perfectly horizontal or vertical either. You really must try harder.

Fisting a tangerine?

I haven't got the time to do another. You should see the looks I got doing 3 takes of that one here at work! 😳
Was it taken on a smart phone ?
Clever photo on a smart phone?
There will be no need for humans soon.

someone's got to supply the 'stupid' , may as well be us humans....
original picture - trouser pressing FAIL. I bet he/she irons creases in their shirt sleeves too. Terrible.
Simonralli...never mind the valve not being at the bottom - it's nowhere near the tyre logo ffs!
Peterpotty...third degree burns, reflectors and mudguards? epic FAIL.
My PowerPoint version.

Do I get a prize?

Good point, well made. Can't have been from a stupid human - are you a HAL-like entity?
And harry the arachnid - have you too much time on your hands (I mean, even more than the average STW user)?

No, no you don't
Lobey Dosser and Harry the Spider for best retorts to an otherwise puzzling post.
Good work, fellas.
i don't think the OP is going to come back enlighten us, as clearly we are aesthetic Neanderthals who lack an appreciation of the nuances of the photographic art
Aesthetically pleasing or not, it's still shite.

I like pichurs. Just not that one.
Ah you are all sheep ruled by valves. I am a free man and care not where the valve is. 😀
Oh and I went for the squid as I thought I may get a banning if I dangled an octopi from my neck but that's a whole different conversation.

I reckon he doesn't know, I bet someone said "hey isn't this photo clever" he nodded pretending to know when he really didn't. Then came on here and thought, I'll show everyone how cultured and smart I am. Posted the pic and then panicked when people asked why.

LOVL! This is a very weird thread and I am loving it.
This thread isn't weird.
This on the other hand is.

I reckon you're right.
OP, please enlighten us.
Simon, In your photo I notice that there is evidence of a paedo-goatie. Be careful, the nice man who posed for the photo may not actually be very nice at all.

However, if you shop him to the Daily Mail you may get a few quid.
Also, even a nonce would line up his valves/logos. Sort it out.
Harry, what have you got against Gary Fisher ?
S****.

That shirt has to be a result of some [i]serious[/i] recreational pharmacology.
And that hat is the result of painting the ceiling with an over loaded roller.
In the original pic, neither of the subjects has thumbies.
Its all about the lighting in the photo.The source of light comes from the front and yet it hasnt created any shadow.
it hasnt created any shadow.
apart from the very obvious shadow of the front wheel and the blokes legs?
So it isn’t a visual pun ?
Ti - Chi
Ti - Kwondo
"apart from the very obvious shadow of the front wheel and the blokes legs?"
Considering the strength of the light source there is a very definite lack of shadow.

Nope, very definate very black shadows on my screen
It really is about time the OP came back and explained the 'clever' stuff.

Huh? don't you know Simon only ever takes photos of [i]himself[/i]?

It doesn't come from the front, there are two lights which come from above.

Exactly hence the way the light reflects on his trouser and the very evident spot effect near the front wheel.
peter proddys pics means something deep to me!
it's gash
Well, that's dissapointing!
gimp

you've had the "glove of truth" at an airport then Jedi ??
As the picture and arrows above display, the light is both above and between us and the subject matter; but not directly above, much closer to the subjects than the viewer.
Note the bike's shadow is seen and it's slightly away from the wheel, running under the BB & beyond.
Similarily the light used to illuminate the man, but in this instance, it's at a slightly more pronounced angle and the spread of light is again, quite narrow.
Notice how the light is focused on the hand area, from a lower position that the Bike Light as the shadows are longer - possibly - but it's marginal.
This is done using a snoot attachment or a 'fray-nel' as these will a give hard, uncompromising light & shaply defined shadow areas.
I suspect, given the spread of light, that the lights are set up quite high, or there may be some reflective pannels set off to one side to reflect back some of the light to fill-in.
(Master class complete: no charge was made for this service 😉
Very dissapointing!
Some bloke likes a photo so calls it clever.
If I knew how to post photos you'd have one of my arse staring right back at you.
I like my arse, it's pretty comfortable, not too big, not too small and due to where it's located on my body I don't get to see it too often so I'm pretty fond of any photo's I have of it, are they clever though?
