Muscle up! Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

We all know that terrific low lateral light, and walking through Madrid there was this moment. While I fell for the smoke from his cigarette and took a few photos, he really went for it. No idea what he thought, maybe he thought that he was being photographed for a women's magazine, but he obviously was flirting with me and my camera. And he pumped up those biceps!

Hi Rinie.

The light is superb and who could say "no" to you and to your d-200.
I couldn't do it.

Excellent light and atmosphere. I love it.

Thanks for sharing.

Hee Rinha, this is as urban as it gets. The side lit guy and his poise, the motion blurred traffic. I like it. Also 'cause the repetition of the horizontals.
Have a great weekend,
Bert

Of course you know I love this clearly underrated photo dear... The light and the subject are extremely interesting, and I love the sense of mouvement given by the cars behind him. Thanks for share dear.

Impressive moment, artfully captured.
Some dislike central compositions, but this one seems fitting, there's obviously the center of attention & blurry traffic all around. Suset light is indeed terrific!
