Ha! That looks interesting! But why is there a screened outhouse? To get a breeze while doing business? The sky is a little bright - maybe using a polarizing filter would have helped, or a gradient layer in PP to help tone down the sky? Good job though!

Cool! I just hope they're not using them during the race! (definitely unique, IMO)

i have never seen nor heard of this.

Well, that's not only something I've never seen on DPC, I've never even HEARD of an outhouse race. LOL!

Fun image... some of the details in the shirts are lost in the shadows on my monitor though. Could use some processing to make it 'pop' for us, I think (not voting)

I think the shot could have been helped if you'd focused more closely on one of the racers, rather than a wide shot. My eye was drawn to the beautiful mountains first, and then to the racers.

Maybe crop tighter on the racers closest to you in the frame.. the motion blur on the feet of the guy in the white hat, and the facial expression of the grey-haired dude could have had more impact with a different crop/

this is quite funny, just a little dark on the exposure

I think you should have explored more the guy with big gray hair on the right... his expression is the best one!
06/26/2009 02:47:47 PM
hmm, i havent even heard of this before. nice!
06/26/2009 01:00:06 PM
i wanna do this! looks like fun :) as far as the technicals in the photos, the sky is a bit blown out and the guy on the right could use some dodging, and the crop could be tighter, but overall a fun photo
