    Hello Tuna,

    I like your composition a lot. The colours are striking and the action is superbly entered. If you were to submit a picture of the marathon for a contest I think that this would be a strong contender.

    regards

    I think....

    I think that this is the best image you have shown from this race.
    The colors, the pan, and the athletes expression make this an excellent image.
    I commend you Tuna!
    It really captures the essesnce of this type event.
    Well Done!

    Very pleasing image. You might want to adjust it the contrast a little to make it even more graphically oriented, with the dominant colors vs. black and white.

    By the way, I've enjoyed viewing your recent posts.

    This is a compelling image. Fine work.

    I'd also be tempted to make it even more 'abstract' as Lava Lamp states.

    geesh where was I?

    what a great shot perfectly timed ...the "blurred look just really makes you feel the speed...I'd "up" the saturation a smidgen but that's all personal preferances...great shot
