This was a late Christmas gift for him, I guess. :rolleyes Just some snapshots that I did a little grunge action on. He's a triathlete and apparently this new bike is going to make a HUGE difference in his times. :dunno If you ask me he just wants to look cool in front of all of his friends. :rofl

I am thinking of having them printed on metallic paper in b/w maybe...which is better, bw or the "grunge" above?

    Personally love the 'grunge" version higher up in the post. Great lighting in that shot - really think that it works well. (Over the black and white version.)

    I think that all these photographs are well done - very pleasing to the eye even for someone that is not into cycling - such as myself.

    Well done and thanks for posting these.

    Very cool! I'm liking the grunge better than the B&W. These would make great posters. clap.gif

    Sorry, but there is
    Sorry but there is no way to look cool in spandex! We do our group rides on Sunday mornings and we all look like a bunch of fruits:D

    I haven't ever heard of that site, but I checked it out. I'll show my husband. They seem like his type of people. I'm a computer nerd/couch potato. rolleyes1.gif

    I'm with you. :D

    Baldy is an amazing athlete amongst his other passions. He started FQ not long ago and I know they have been looking for great images to go on their forums - they will eat these shots up!
