Nice composition, and a nice "action" shot! Maybe an interesting addition would have been if you would have moved your legs up and down, such that a feeling of motion occurs (the front wheel will then still be suspended though). Nice shot, nonetheless!

Terrific image Tim! Great idea using the wind trainer to capture you doing what looks to be like something you really enjoy - cycling!

Great shot and most excellent 'stache. Gave up on making mine like that...

Nice shot - Great moustache. I looked at the shot and thought "I know that guy." Good work.

A really great image. With a stare like that I'll bet you could make an 18 wheeler pull over ;-)

Well, I'll forgive you for the Campy rig, but no helmet? Hmm. I've got to get my real wheel fixed so I can ride my road racer again. Moustaches make great bug filters.

Excellent and eye-catching shot. Well done.

Another picture like mine - designed to convey not only the person but the interest, too. Wish I could get my mustache to do that.

Great shot. Nice lighting. And great moustache, too ;-)
