The Erasmus Bridge, an icon of the Netherlands and an unmistakable symbol for Rotterdam. Here, amidst architectural grandeur, a man on skates catches the eye. After a challenging descent down the stairs on his skates, he takes a moment to catch his breath following his daring maneuver. The composition of the photo guides you from the graceful arch of the bridge to the unassuming figure of the man, nearly lost amidst the imposing architecture.
I intentionally shot the photo in black and white to emphasize the bridge's lines, directing the viewer's attention toward the elegance of the Swan.
