Great shot. I like the focus through the spokes and the framing balance made by the tire in one corner and the hub in the other. IMO, this is the kind of photo he will cherish in 20, 30, 50 years. Not a stiff portrait or a school photo. He looks to be in good shape... maybe he'll be the next Lance Armstrong.

Nice shot skade! I like the way he is concentrating on what he is doing. Makes for a good photo for the family photo album. Good looking boy Blade is.

Great shot! Was going to say that I loved working on my BMX bike when I was younger, but I still fix my own mountain bike to this day. Awesome capture.

Hope you don't mind. Thought it would look good in B&W as well.

Thanks! Glad you like. I noticed in your sig, "one cheap and nasty" tri-pod. Any pod is better than none at all.
