  • Nice 'different' sports image, good use of slow shutter speed to give the sense of movement. It looks more like a painting than a photograph. I applaud the photographer for trying something different, I think it works well. You should frame this and sell it to the club.

  • First of all, let me thank all the people behind I shot it. I'm very pleased by your comment, because it was exactly what I was aiming to. I love low shutter speeds, and I've been quite lucky because the athletes were moving in front of a dark background. Postprocessing was just darkening it a little more ( flags and flowers) and whitening their combat gear. Thanks again A.

  • Lots going on here, good timing with the (crash) landing, and to capture the reactions of the onlookers. Works well. This is one of those images that you just have to be in the right place and finger on the shutter ready to shoot, so good for you for being prepared.

  • Good timing and focus. Wish could see more of the scene, but nevertheless not an easy shot to get, so well done, its all about timing.

  • Like the environmental wider shot here, makes the viewer explore the scene. Wish the black and white process was a little stronger to help separate the main subject, but nevertheless, good timing.
