 I was driving along the Niagara River near my home when I saw two men juggling. I asked them if they minded me snapping a few shots of them in the act. Since I neglected to get a release, I decided to play it safe and crop them out of the scene.

This was taken with my new Canon 70-200mm F4 L lens. 1/750 of a second was enough to stop the motion of the juggling pins. PS7 was used to clone out some distracting branches in the upper right. Levels, curves, and some tweeking of the colors put the final touch to this.

This image doesn't have that "wow" factor for me, and I suspect won't for others as well. It was fun doing, and I'm hoping my effort will garner at least a 6...

Thanks for looking, commenting and/or voting.

It would be more interesting if it included the jugglers.

The thumb and one arm on the right seem to have a bit of motion blur but other than that, very well done. I love seeing the clear parallel of the two middle clubs.

Like the colors and you definitely stopped the action. Background is a little distracting though.

Very cool perspective. A little blurry and dull colors, but the subject makes up for it.

I would have preferred seeing the jugglers in the shot.
