Time for my first series. On June 6th Frankfurt saw the german Ironman race. As the cycling course was not far from my home I went out to cheer with the crowd...

I like the way the sign is pointing at him showing us he's the main man. I like your crisp detail and gritty action!

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks for your kind words, DJ. I guess taking the pictures was so much easier than being part of the race :-) Still: I took my own bike for the 3 km from my home to reach the course ;-)
I agree that the signs work well (on both the right and the left) to "frame" the person and the action. Great crisp detail as well. I wonder if cropping right down to the level of his helmet might emphasize even more his power, by giving him a little space in which to bike. Just a thought.

@Alexandra: Thanks a lot. I appreciate your feedback!
Well done. I like the compositon with the signal to the opposite way.

@Paco Díaz: Thanks a lot!
Great framing and exceptional crisp detail ... I'm amazed at how thin the tires are on the bike!

@Ron: Thanks, Ron. These tires are really thin... I am more into the thick 2,1" mountainbike tires myself... :-)
Clever framing...like it!
