Thank you John and Paco!

Yes, this is one of the main circular streets in Tokyo.

Interesting sculptures. I think the tone mapping is too strong, because the brightened shadows and increased saturation "camouflage" the bikes.

Thanks...
Cooled the temp and darkened the shadows a bit.

Now they're really on the blue side.
I think the backgrounds, regrettably, are interfering with the visibility of the sculptures.
Seems like you'd need a very long and very fast lens to knock the background out of focus.

OK Thanks.
Messed with them a little more.
I think you are right about the background. It was around noon so the sun was not in my favor either.
Don't think a longer lens would work there as it was on a curve and a little valley and the road is very narrow.
Kind of sketchy even to stop in the first place.

One could possibly resort to either a multi-pano merge shot with dozens of shallow-focus closeups stitched together(a lot of work), or blur the background entirely in post production processing(even more work).
Or...leaving the bikes in color but mono-ing the background objects.

Many thanks Fons - glad you like it.
If the scenery looks familiar then you have seen the water sculptures named "Roskildekrukkerne" when you visited Roskilde ;-)  The artist behind these impressive jars is Peter Brandes. They are 5 meters tall and together weigh around 24 tons.

A very nice, and big, "havelåge" you found btw. !
