Very nice work!!!!
Peter Marin
Hey yeah! Big congrats from me too for the front page, good to see.
It’s a well seen and cropped shot, I love this kind of photography.
You don’t see many pictures from that legendary discontinued lense much more either. A real shame cause it makes amazing images when in the right hands (like your’s).
All the best.

Excellent image and concept
Stephen Maxwell
Great image and very clever. Did you hit upon this intentionally or was it by chance? I have an inverted image in my portfolio, ‘Mercury Sands’ which was the result of experimentation.
Duane Hart replied
Hi Stephen
Thanks – I was shooting the 100m in the rain and noticed how the shadows formed – It took a few races to get the right formation. Sometimes in sports you make your own luck.

Think sport is the most amazing experience. However so many of us put too much dependancy on the result and lose the enjoyment in my opinion. Wonderful image and thought provoking caption.
