I really like this photo. Another one where the choice of b&w makes a really dramatic impact (especially in how it highlights the steamed breaths), rather than just choosing b&w because it looks 'cool'.
The backlighting was also well used.
Its got the details for sure... this goes to show digital records best in B&W ...Wich makes it more fun for all those that had a hard time using film for it.
Keep thinking about this shot and coming back to it..so original..didn't enter or vote but would have agreed with everyone else. What I like is the brightness of the light on the subjects in contrast to the dark background. The composition you have used should be put into a text-book and rammed dowmn the throats of aspiring photographers as it adds so much to the shot. deeply impressed.
My only 10.
There were a lot of good images here but as soon as I saw this one...
the competition for 1st was over.
Wow. Talk about being in the right position when these guys ran by!
Congratulations x10...you better get a print made of this one and hang that baby up.
(They should allow prints of ribbon winners for the entrants with a ribbon set into the corner!) Congrats again.
Wow.
Jon Pink: your images speak quietly, fluently and with such conviction that very so often you simply blow my mind away with your outstanding work. With this image you invoke the Vangelis, "Chariots of Fire."
But wait, your image divorced from this association carries its own weight of individuality. You are worth special attention for you are indeed one of the outstanding talents here at DPC.
Excellent Jon..you're among my early favorites in this site and this shot is an icing in the cake. You don't have to get a blue to prove that you're good.
This is one of my 2 favorites in this challenge. I gave it a 10. That's the good new -- the bad news is I usually don't pick the winners as my favorites! However, I hope I'm in step with the rest of DPC this time and this one ribbons. Good luck!
Awsome candid of runners, I can totally sympathize with the cold morning running experience. Like lighting through the fog in their breaths. Seems a tad oversharpened, but not that noticible, maybe the backlighting on their legs is harsh enough to get that effect. Well done.
wow... looks almost like it was done in a studio! The long shadows and the visible breath really shows the brisk morning atmosphere and makes you feel like you're there.
This is a great shot. You've captured the scene excellently. The treatment is fantastic with all the details, textures and light. Tthe composition is nice but the capture of their breath is what really makes this shot for me. Well Done! Bumped to a 9
I started out giving this a 9...but Im coming back and giving it a 10. The light is excellent, their breaths really add to the feeling of this shot too. And to top it all off, their shadows are perfect. It is really wonderful as a black and white!
