Hi Tk, I also love this shot! You've got the "do it or die" moment captured superbly, especially his look at the ground. The filtering works really well on the "gritty details" I'd say, like the tyre grip and chain sprocket. I'd also be interested to see the original as I'd guess the filtering dramatically improves it - I'd expect the original to be "colour busy" in a different and less effective way, am I right? Bet the bloke on the bike would like a copy of that! By the way (photoshop novice), what techniques/filters were applied? Chris
