This bull was a wild one but the rider skillfully managed to ride

past the 6 seconds mark thus the dusty conditions.

However after the rider was thrown off, the bull got it's revenge by

ploughing the rider mid-air. The rider was hurt but thankfully it

wasn't serious.

I like this one as it shows the other riders in the background

desperately trying to catch up.

It also has a nice background blur that tells the story of the other

riders but it does not compete with the main subject.

One seldom get's a straight head on punch to the face but in this

particular fight, it was very well timed by the opponent.

There is a boxing gear called Punch Equipment - Tested on Humans.

This photo confirmed it.

Fashion show - most people look at the front but the rear can be

just as sexy.

Thanks guys, I actually did captured the full board but because the horizon was off, I cropped it thus the top tip was chopped off.

The clients took the full uncropped image and tilted it slightly for poster promotions with the sponsors logo etc and they also took the cropped version for other purpose. Individivuals acepted both versions.

I can post the full frame uncropped image if you like but I cant't attach it with this reponse?( ie. no option to attach an image).

This image was captured using the 20D with 70-200 f2.8L.

Upclose of a wakeboarder where you can see all the the muscles in the

arms.

Due to a turnover & a very quick transition, the goalie was caught

offguard which resulted in a goal. One of the defender was desperate

to catch up and nearly got hit with a hockey stick in full swing.

Remember that 20 years ago, it was the sexual liberation, burning of the bra, peace man, flower power, freedom from parents, owning your own car or vespa bike etc, people were not self conscious when a stranger points a camera at their direction. Girls & women use to giggle and people just carry on etc.

People are most definitely aware that a photographer within their sights but they are simply oblivious to it and simply do not care thus photographers had the liberty to walk around and shoot without any fear thus street photography was much more enjoyable .

Tony Dummet has made a typical street photographer capture, well done and take nothing away from Tony.

However with due respect, unless the youths are either on drugs, drunk as a skunk or intellectually handicapped, the youths are quite aware and conscientiously of his presence as he has been following them around for a while.

But I still consider this street photographer as they were not posed or staged, they were simply enjoying their freedom and carrying on with what they were doing.

Again, no disrespect to Tony, 11 out of 10 for your efforts.

Thierry Burlot comments, not so different from the kids we can see nowdays, only goes as far as the attraction to the opposite sex but times have changed as youths are now very street smart.

Theses days, you really put yourself at risk of being verbally abused, harassed, bashed and kicked and have your camera damaged etc.

Unless you befriend with the youths and maybe even offer them free prints so that they just carry on but they will still slightly alter their behaviour.

Mmmh, I was going to place this in the Concert forum but they are

mainly head banging heavy metal stuff.

Here's one where this chap is approx 40 feet up in the air doing this

stunt.

You wouldn't want him to accideently loose his grip from the bike

seat as it is a long way down.

Thanks Mihail.

Most people show the sad side like knockouts, blood etc but because of her emotional joy by jumping up high in the, I posted it.

As you can the lighting was terrible, I was using ISO 3200 for the fight and ISO 1600 for the announcements.

Here's one showing the emotional victory as with boxing, one tends to

show the connected punch or the person laying on the canvas.
