Hi Peter: I really like this shot, especially the way you used your wide-angle to make the cyclist's helmet fit the corner of the frame. Boy, I guess this means you can use wide-angle lenses with DSLRs! #151724

Thanks for your kind comment, Pat. Most people use wide-angle subjects for distant subjects such as landscapes. My favorite use is for close-ups. Yes, there is some wide-angle (perspective) distortion, but often that works fine.

Cheers! #671176

nice point of view, but to much depth of field..
your background gets to much attention.

(sorry about my bad english)

i also like the way the helmet fills the corner.. but I find myself drawn away from the front cyclists to the one who has his arms folded and is looking away.. #1532080

Hmmm... I'm guessing that this was taken close to Toronto or Southern Ontario? I see a St. Catharines cycling jersey in there plus a Gears jersey both are from the area. MD
Nice shot... *click* #1563960

Thanks, Mike. In Kitchener, actually, at last year's road race.
