Greatest photo ever - BY YOU

RichN95.

The greatest photo ever thread was a great success. Still is.

So here's a variation. What is the greatest, most iconic photo taken by you (or your family if you must).

Here's my entries

Wiggins & Froome 2009


Kennaugh & House 2009


Wiggins 2008


Team pursuit 2008

Whistleblower! Expect RichN to post up alongside you and force you back into the peleton of those not logged in for that!

That last one would have won you a prize, guinea - if you hadn't cheated and Photoshopped a ridiculous snap of TV into it...

Like all good cycling fans, I make sure I'm looking at them with my own eyes, not through a lens .

I have one eye on the race, the other through a lens.

Do you also sleep with one eye open?

Pretty happy with this from the summer. 150 meters from the finish with a 300mm lens at about 200mm.

Cadel surrounded by some rather bad art in a Grenoble bar just after his time trial ride in 2011's Tour.

And the day before, the younger Schleck tries to bully Evans into chasing down Contador on l'Alpe d'Huez.

I found this in the background of one of my shots.

Same day - here is Contador further up the road.


And here is Chavanel on about the 4th corner.

Lay down waiting under a crash barrier for half an hour until the split second he came round the corner. The shot is with a pre-digital manual SLR, so no motor-drive or video to get a frame grab from, though obviously I photoshoped a scan of it (about 10 years ago, I think). The quirky angle is just how I was holding the camera as cramp set in but I kind of like it.

I love this picture. Last night I watched the Pantani movie, and in spite of the incessant fill-in shot repeats I really enjoyed the story. As someone that came into cycling after his heyday I knew very little about those times. This picture seems to capture so much.

Thanks for posting. I have saved it to my personal album. Your royalties are in the mail.

I'm glad that Le Commontateur thought otherwise. Excellent!

I've got a shot of Laurent Jalabert's right leg at the same corner, too. Wasn't quite so quick/lucky that time.

Our cycling friends in Spain. They are really cool, right? These kits suit them best.
