Long distance runners

Fantastic geometry here, interesting combination of colours!

Thanks Adela. It has been altered a little from the color side. I tried to make it look an old shot.

I like this, Tero, your mind has organized the abstract elements of the everyday scene.

The pattern of the lawn rushing toward me, the red lines whizzing by, and the painted circle swooping is exhausting, but worth all the extra heartbeats.

Funny because yesterday I was out riding my bike around town and stopped briefly at the high school track and football field to take a few snaps. Haven't even looked at them yet, but it seemed a bit of a coincidence that I open your page this morning and there it is.

 

Well, anyway, nice lines and forms and colors and textures.

Et voilá! A great composition that needs a great eye to see it and make it into a photo. I like it very much. As previously said, a very good color combination, also. The tree shadows are a final touch of class. Congratulations and regards.

Jack: Thanks for commenting, really appreciated.

Jeff: Thanks for commenting, sorry for the extra heart beats.

David: I have also sometimes bumped into almost same kind of images than i was going to post. It's a small world where we live in.

Joaquim:Thanks for commenting. The shade is actually the stadion light post. First i thought that i want to snap this shot without the shade but i guess it finally brought something extra in it.

Effective composition,Tero. We are accustomed to seeing on TV these tracks with the runners above. Seen so empty it seems a "non-place". Good idea. Best regards. Glauco

Excellent! Very, very clever !

 

Glauco: "Non-place" That is something i have to start using ;D

Tatjana: Thanks for commenting, really appreciated.

"The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" could be an even better title here, but I guess somebody else has already used it, I'm afraid. Wonderful. The processing again enhances the image and its message.

Thanks Laurent. The processing was a little different than my normal, i had to get it look a bit old... not sure did i even get it right, but this was the outcame. Thanks again for commenting.

Very interesting and pleasant for geometry and coluors.

Regards.

...of the runners on the starting line creeping in from the left? Perfect image. Really great photo, Tero. Cheers, Jay

Thanks Marco

Jay: That was what i was aiming for, but it isn't the runner shadows, it's the stadium light post which cast the shadows to the grass.
