I've been trying to get a static shot of a rider warming up on rollers & Sam kindly agreed to let me shoot him whilst warming up. I wanted a blank sky, so I lay on my back on the ground, with my head almost under the front wheel, whilst he cycled on the rollers.
I know I need to get both hands in shot & possibly a little more of the legs and bike (only had 24-105 with me, not 10-20) & perhaps a little fill in flash to brighten his face. Can you think of anything else. I had a suggestion of having him against a background of the race start, which I tried, but it lost impact.
The only manipulation on this is a bit of dodging on the face to lighten and USM in CS2.

Any critique or suggestions would be very welcome.
