This was a fun challenge for me and it helped me appreciate focal lengths. I did get frustrated focussing on one post only to see the action on another :(
Hey, if you look closely you can even see my house!
Top shot was a jpeg from my Huawei P20 Pro, 1/1000sec at f1.8, 50 ISO and a fl of 3.9mm.
Bottom shot was my 5Dmkii/300mm Sigma with 2x converter and 1/500 at f5.6, 320 ISO and a fl of 600mm

Just put this comment on jomari's 1st place win: "Every time I look at this and Ecce_Signum's 2nd place I like the idea of this challenge more. I absolutely know I will be adding this kind of diptych to my repertoire.
This is soooo good. I could just parrot a few others' comments:
"I especially appreciate the sense of discovery, of what's happening out on those pilings." streetpigeon "I think that either picture would be capable of winning a challenge. I just love the lower shot!" jomari
Wonderful work, definitely up to the task in my book. Congratulations on the ribbon.
Two beautiful pictures, a beautiful diptych. I think that either picture would be capable of winning a challenge. I just love the lower shot!
This came up first in voting for me and it has certainly stood up to everything that came later. I've bumped it up a couple of times and now it is a 10.
At a quick run-through of all entries last night this one caught my eye. Gave it a "higher" score and will doubtless be back for a bump or two. Really very effective, imo.
