 Women's half marathon that ran through our neighborhood. Total candid (uncharacteristic for me). Not planned at all and I'm lucky I got it. Wish I could use advanced editing to manage the highlights in the guy's hair.

No matter where this finishes, I'm happy about the number of comments. It would have been nice to have a few more runners to show this guy wasn't part of a race where you were supposed to dress up, but it didn't happen. I also had to crop thin because the spectators to the left (my wife being one of them) are disinterestedly chatting with each other.

The boy is wonderful.

Very cute- love the kid's expression. Since when does a 6.3 score earn a ribbon? ;-P

Just missed the ribbon, what a shame! Should have been the blue

you are growing up as an artist... pretty soon you'll learn NOT to focus on the subject :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/15/2010 01:31:50 AM
So NOT you. Wonderful entry. Congrats on your HM
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/15/2010 12:10:17 AM
Not the kind of shot I would expect from you and an HM for a shot that I would not have expected to do this well. The humor factor counted for a lot. Either that, or it's just that DrAchoo Photo-Mojo! Well seen. (It got a 7 from me, BTW)

Hahaha. Why is that kid so happy? For me this would have been a very traumatic experience leaving me with a lifelong fear of moustaches.

Very funny! why they smile like that? bump up to 9!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/13/2010 10:55:41 AM
Pity you didn't capture the runner either to left or right of the bystander but the little guy's expression is a classic!
Can't help but smile along with him.
Wonder what's going through his head....

Drag racing? Of course nobody would EVER see something like this in a place like New York, or that bastion of uptightedness, Los Angeles.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Expression is priceless.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/09/2010 03:45:45 PM
Love the expression on the boys face. I would have liked to seen a different angle on this one. It takes a second to locate the boy for me. I think my eye is drawn away from him because the angle of the tree is moving away from him.
