Cattle call

Seems there is a meme going around the ol' LJ. I am finally getting around to parsing out pictures taken in the last several months that I have been without my main workstation PC. I've also finally upgraded from my original Photoshop 5.5 to PS CS2. As it stands, I got a bit more learning to do with the new features, and the new backup PC has an utterly trashed color profile that puts up warnings every time I start the program. while poring over the many hundreds of shots, this one popped up, and I figure it met the requirements outlined in the aforementioned meme, which is for those cycle-riding bears out there to show off their calves. This was a shot I took of a smallish scratch I got on my leg that nonetheless hurt like hell for the first couple days. I got it during one of the many times I had been riding the bike around town.

This shot will also serve as a reference after I recalibrate the new PC monitor profile. What comes out of CS2 is a washed-out version of what goes in.

As an aside, watching the Olympics tonight, I saw a job I'd like, which is to be the guy who has to lift the shortest of athletes up on to the high bar.

Oh baby, what yummy calves. I can't even see the boo-boo, but I'd sure kiss it to make it feel better. And I'm only 5'6", so I am in need of being lifted up by big bears!

And I am happy to fulfill that need. ;)

Impressive vascularity. That scratch looks like you might've tagged your leg on the pedal, actually; I used to do that all the time.

Very nice indeed

It was most likely on the pedal or a roughed-up piece of the front derailleur. Either way, it burned like heck for a couple days afterwards.

And thanks for the compliment. Coming from the guy with the most impressive quads on LJ I am pretty much flattered. ;)

Legs and calves were always an easy thing for me. Chest and lats? Forget it.

interesting.....can understand the lats thing, only found a way to train back properly this year! However, chest is usually the easier one for most, is why you see folk with a bit o chest and not much else LOL
