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...

Great capture! Love how you've managed to find focus on the rider and creating a background blurr.

@hugo poon: Thanks a lot, Hugo!
Superb motion blur, with well define subject. Very good work. I'd flip it over (mirror) so he'd seem to go from left to right instead, because I always find it weird to go back in time (that's always the feeling I get when things go from right to left in a frame), but that's only me... I may be freak.

@Vincent Bertrand: Not exactly a freak attitude, Vincent. But unusual opinion! Thanks for your honesty and nice words. As I am more the documentary (nonintrusive) guy I will probably leave the picture the way it is :-) So you can enjoy your time travel ;-) Thanks again...
Well freezed this speedy cyclist. The image gives such idea of speed!
