Spain's Laura Campos performs on the balance beam during the World Cup Gymnastics in Ghent, Belgium, Sunday May 1, 2005.

Opinions?

I love the foot just off the beam, nicely separated by the blured blue background. The perfect focus on her intense eyes is also great. 7/7.

Very sharp and perfect timing. The composition and "pose" is a bit... Perhaps if we saw the whole right leg it would be a more complete "form" that the judges would score her on but then you would miss on the detail a closer crop provides. It is just as though a "line" is not complete. Good capture tough.

GREAT to see you posting again. i think this is a very skillful and well rendered shot in colors, clarity, moment captured, and composition. re the comment directly above, the real world is rarely neat and clean; in a studio you might have considered a slightly different composition. but that is a different genre. as a sports action shot this is wicked good. there's a little grain in the background understandably. i recently discovered neat image -- great for cutting down grain on high iso indoor sports shots -- there's a free downloadable demo, i recommend trying it if you haven't already. (feel free to email me if you have questions, bnsfr@aol.com [no i have nothing to do with neat image].)

 

i've been starving for your great photos, glad you put this up!

everything is already mentioned: very god to see some new pics!

Very well Captured Geert. Hope this is a sign of more postings.

Really nice. The grain, I suppose, is from a high ISO? I imagine yo'd need one for an indoor pic like this, freezing the action.

 

How are you liking the D2X? Looks as though IT is liking YOU!

greath moment to take it.

Hey thanks for the words. I'll try to post some more recent pics. The D2x with the 200mm f2 G VR is the perfect gear for sports action ...more or less perfect.

awesome capture

well thats a nice spread-shot man, good eye!!!!

 

Spectacular!

Perfect Time to hit that shutter here.. great capture... split second... great work

The foot just off the beam...the concentration in the eyes...the virtually perfect form...and you caught it all spot on. Congrats on a beautifully done sports photo!

Well done!

Great timing and color!

Awesome Shot Geert, what iso did you shoot this at, looks like the lighting was pretty good there. I did an event last week and the lighting was crud, couldnt get much in the way of action, just holds, andmost of those were at 1600 & 3200.
