Mike is the World Masters Time Trial champion and his sponsor wanted some shots for advertising. Thought I would share a few.

Yea, he's a monster on the bike, but one of the nicest guys you would ever meet.

#1 reminds me of Dustin Snipes lighting.
I like the direction of the divider lines in the second.

Actually I used the work of Joel Grimes as inspiration. He has some amazing work.

Awesome work! I like them all, but 2 is my fav. I get the impression that there is no "quit" in this guy...

No. 1 is my pick, def. a stud-ly shot! Those lactic acid filled thighs looked like he just finished sprint intervals

, definitely slow twitch muscles. But the blue liquid filled bottle in No. 1 does distract me a little bit. Wonder what No. 3 would look like if it was in color.

Good stuff,

Phil

I wish #1 had more light, I prefer #2. Nice work.

If the subject is a TT champion, why not use a TT bike?

Excellent work I like one the best but all three are nice.

The sponsor wanted this bike in the photo. He races lots of stage races and crits also.

You can almost smell the sweat in #1

The lighting is very cool. However, the photos look too red to me. Can you add some yellow back to them so the skin isn't so magenta? Also, I think some detail shots would be great compliments to the portraits and action.
