Great work with the idea Ben, guess this is hot topic in discussion for manyl fans of cycling... I sometimes wonder about the rules that restrict entry of cyclists to the forest without marked routes in my country,such a great protection of nature.., but heavy machines can ... :) but maybe Nicolas does´t stop..:)
Very good idea and realization,compliments

Fantastic as always with your pictures. Love your thinking, and setup. The sad face you do not see, and yet one senses 100% what he thinks.
Love it all, the toning, the light and the setup.
Great pictures
Ben Goossens  Thanks Ken-:)
When I shot the man some years ago, I felt I would create a concept with it, though a long time what do with it and there is was. I had a lot of hours work with it, extracting the man and bike wasn't an easy... but, I'm happy with the final result.
Yes, Nic is a bit of a rebel... ;-)
Ben Goossens  Indeed Fréféric, he go ons were other stops... thanks:-)
Curious what Nic thinks about it.

Best, Ben
Mind provoking image Ben,and while you specified it for Nicolas Marino ,I guess the intention is honoring him(a guessing ),and he should deserve that .
I have looked at the image long ,and that bending head (let go to my imagination) is desperate ,and hopeless enough to a degree I have started how many times I have stood like him,please let me share with you few,starting with the easier to body and soul,
in the last four months ,when all of my posts returned to the bottom of my page here at 1x.
when I receive three hot or red or x point from Christoph Hessel ,and I can not participate in critique forum for a week,
when I see most of the images published here,and I can not rival any of them,
when I can not hold a camera in the streets of my own town in my own country,
when I see unfair ,and unjustified act ,and I can not intervene for good,
when I see a poor whom I can not help,
when I see crippled human,
when I see a human inflicted by incurable illness,
and when I live in an occupied country.

I have seen a lot of hopeless desperate poses ,but this bending head of yours you call just a simple idea ,is a killer one.
Ben Goossens  Thanks a lot Saad:-)
Keep the spirit high !
I wish you a pleasant live in a rather sad situation.
