I "shot" this man after he finished competing in an age 60&up bike race. I wonder how many miles he has logged on during his lifetime? Nobody knows....

Great shot,
The expression on his exhausted face, his head down, and the use of b/w are just perfect for this WA. I like this a lot, well done!

Thanks Nick. I had lots of photos of several bikers in the younger and more competitive age groups. But this is the one l like the most. It was also the last shot I took for the day as I was already headed for my car going home when I saw this fellow resting on the sidewalk.

Well done !

His expression and the overall mood and tone of the photo are very very apt to the title !

Hi Chuck. As a cyclist myself, I love this shot. Great capture. The one think that I think would make it an even better shot is to clone out the dark material that appears to be growing out of his head . It is a great shot for B&W!!

Really neat image that conveys a lot of emotion, and empathy! (I agree with Jane about removing the dark above his head. ) Nice!!

What a wonderful face! Chuck, your image says so much, and the B/W really works perfectly here. Clone out that dark mass, and it'll be perfect, IMHO.

Thanks for all your comments and constructive inputs. Noted on the black thing on top of his head - I already cloned it out.

Well there weren't a lot of 60&up riders who joined - about 14 or so only. This man I would think is at least 70 years old. If there was a 70&up age group, perhaps only about 5 would be in this class.
