Like the natural "vignetting" and the way you've captured the cyclist's sense of movement. Nice B&W.

Thanks mate. I was standing there taking a few pics of the "tunnel" and thinking it was a bit bland and then this guy happened to come pass and provide just the right amount of interest for the shot.

You know there are less extreme ways to lose weight though right? :) sorry not playing it down, it sounds horrific but the key thing is you are still around to annoy your loved ones some more.

Lets hope they got all of it. Did you get to keep te bit they took out? :)

Wow! Crystal clear! The ring light really makes a difference doesnt it?

Yeah , works pretty well . When I first got the 100 macro , I tried everything to get decent images ... ambient light , on camera flash , remote flash .... was pretty much a crapshoot as to what I'd get . Especially painful as this was in the bad old days of film . Anyway , I bit the bullet and sprang for the ringlight ( a Canon , so it uses the Canon E-TTL flash metering) . It pretty much eliminates lighting as a possible cause for failure . I set up the camera's custom function to shoot at 1/200 when there's a flash attached and I'm shooting in Aperture Priority . f11-f13 for some depth of field , get the bugs in focus and I'm good to go .
Just as an aside , the image your referring to is about a 100% crop .
 
I thought watching sixteen year old boys eat with their mouths open was off-putting enough! These guys and girls have taken over our entire garden of late, they will become medium sized grey/brown timber/tree moths.

Handheld, Canon 6D, Tamron 90mm Macro (no IS or VR), Flash

OOH I really like that one... nice contrast from the balloon to the burner and the clouds. Only thing is the tree, not sure I am liking the imbalance.

Have to agree, I covered the tree with hand and the effect became very dramatic.
 
Candid and action photography is my thing, and I like there to be a bit of a story in what I snap.

Here are a couple, taken with a Fujifilm X20, during a cricket match in Phuket earlier this August:
