Pushing off

Just got around to processing this. My girlfriend (in focus) and her

crew. They won a silver medal at this year's world championships.

Photos of those coming later. Thoughts appreciated.

Nice capture! I like that line of rowers. Very good bw also.

Very good composition.I like that bw.Greeting

Simply excellent. 7/7

7/7

timing is everything (and so is composition).

 

You did excellent work here.

Excellent composition, 7/7

A beauty.

Great capture!!

An outstanding shot. I also wonder what it would look like with a shorter focal length. Looks like you were towards the long end of your 70-200 lens. Look at those deltoids!

The canon digits didnt allow me to see any striations in the delts. One stop down, with the whites of the vests and outriggers correctly exposed, would have made this photo dramatic. The going OOF focus is great for 3D, good tight crop, and excellent tele compression effect.

Wow, I should upload on a whim more often. I liked this shot (as do they) but didn't think it'd get this reaction. Erik, it was shot at 138mm (with the 1.4x teleconverter on). The 10D's crop factor exaggerates perspective a little, and it has the effect of a longer lens. Thomas, well, for the skin tone I think it's exposed perfectly, and the Canon 'digits' can't capture 'striations' if they aren't there to begin with. Thanks for your commnents everyone.

Great composition and luminous effect. The sense of the moment here is very powerful...all-in-all a tour de force. 7s all around.

Wonderful shot! The rhyming of the rowers positions is almost dance-like. Exposure looks absolutely fine to me.

Interesting about deltoid striations or lack thereof. Women don't have 'em so much. Check out Igor Amelkovich's photo from the PN gallery.

I like the exposure and think that I have probably incorrectly exposed many water scenes. Hopefully that'll change with my new light meter. :)

A very beautiful shot. The facial expression on the front rower is classic; serenity before the storm.

it has so much beauty in it, really like dancers, and the parallel structures give the rhythm

Nothing more, nothing less. Congratulations James....Best regards, Harry

Fantastic old school, classic!!!

Beautiful capture of their concentration and good use of black and white.

great telephoto choice, great cropping and composition, something seems a little distracting above their heads, otherwise sensational.

Wow! That's all I can say, I love it!

Very good !

Great capture of a moment in time, and interesting composition,. Pnina
