Love the expression on the lifter's face. He is a good mime! Appreciate the technical aspects you gave us as well. As a critique I'd say you have a pretty nasty red/orange cast going on. That said, it could be argued that this gives your subject the feeling of struggling EXTRA hard. Still, I'd remove it and resubmit. Great work!

Thanks for your comment ! I agree with you about the orange cast. there was a "Red" spotlight pointing at the subject. I've yet reduced the orange aspect but it doesn't seem to be enough.

I edited the picture, hope you'll prefer like that.

Looks a bit better, yes. Good luck!

This is absolutely brilliant.
