    Grunt

    I was shooting a cross-country ski event, The City of Lakes Loppet, in Minneapolis. Lot's of high end athletes competing. But this one really caught my eye. What do you think?

    lol... cute A bit too tight though with the hand chopped and it could be a bit lighter so you can see his face better, nice timing though.

    That is priceless, I don't think that it's a high end athlete, but it's a lot more unique than most any shot of a pro you could have got.

    I couldn't agree more that expression is priceless. It's so rewarding when you happen across an opportunity like this and are able to capture it.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    It's a great shot but I don't like to hand and top of the head cut off.
