POD, love this shot!! Great work Ian

 Could and should be POD!

 if this doesnt get POD i may have to gouge my eyes out of their sockets. yes. i do realize thats disturbing.

 Nikon D3s with the 14-24mm f/2.8

 Ian, with that wide of a lens, potentially at 14 although I suspect a bit more zoomed, how close would you be to have the rider that large in the frame? Is it cropped? You must've been hiding in those shrubs fairly close!

 I'm really close in the shrubbery. Close enough that it scared me. I knew I wasn't going to get hit, but having a bike fly past your head about a foot and a half away is definitely scary...

 Ha! That's what I was thinking, the one of Hill is even closer! Great work, as usual.

 Wow, nice camera...I guess you are a Pro Photographer though.
