Hi from the Critique Club!
Your image is totally over processed and doesn't qualify as a photograph at all......nah...just kidding:))
Your title does not meet the criteria of the challenge and should have been disqualified.....nah...just kidding:)
You really shot yourself in the foot with the title, what were you thinking?:)) That said, I've sat here for five minutes trying to think of an alternative, and it ain't easy: Deadly Peruvian Cyclist? Doppelganger President Cycles? You knew the DNMCers would hound you down and beat you with celery for that title, didn't you, but you did it anyway.
And I'm glad you did, as it's a breath of fresh air in a room full of smokers. Many of us I'm sure vote in a trance like state, automatically hitting the five button as if it were a form of therapy. But now and again we get woken up by an image that dares to challenge the status quo and says 'stuff it' to the safe route, I'm going to be ME! Hell, even your commenters are worried FOR you about how this would go down with voters!!! Did you die a horrible death? Did you develop leprosy? Did your world collapse? Noooooooooo! You took at risk at being creative and in my book you came out a winner inspite of the votes. Well done you!
There are lovely tones and contrast in this image; pure whites, pure blacks and that wonderful shade of grey.
There is plenty of detail despite the high key and those shadows are fantastic.
His expression shows committment and effort. The expanse of white around him gives him space to move in and out of and plenty of room for text (The Lance Armstrong Story?)
A wonderful, fresh, graphic image.

| This looks more like a movie poster image than many of the ones in the top ten. Hopefully it was just your title (used too many words) that brought this down and not the image itself. |

| OK, I can accept that the 'a' isn't part of the DPC title, but 'story' as well? |

A touch too high key. You blew out the detail in the back tire...

| Nice processing and would make a wonderful poster (I'll be lenient on the crowbarred title) :-) 9 |

| nice posterlike image. doesn't create much mystery or hint at a story, but it is a bold simple image that could even be a logo for your movie. |

| Nice high key would work very well for a movie poster. Nice composition also! |

| Interesting graphical treatment of the photograph. I think this would make a good movie poster. Not too sure how well the DPC crowd at large will respond to something that isn't so traditionally photographic - though it's fine with me. |

| This is not a three word title using DPC. I am also not fond of the over exposed/high contrast look. |

| Hmmm must also be screening at the DPACS cinema as well ;) |

| I like this. I can definitely see this used in a poster however since it's not the typical DPC image I don't expect this to do well. Also, you put yourself out there with your title. The word "story" is going to garner a lot of downgraded votes. |
