Fish throwers at Seattles Pike Place Market. The guy missed the bag that was thrown to him. This was a tough shot, shooting over the crowd. There is also a problem with light, not enough for a decent shutter speed and mixed between natural sun in the foreground and incandescent in illuminating the subjects. I chose 1/80 shutter to try and get some sense of action and used ISO 200 to keep down the grain. Overall a fun photo.

I Like the action and the expression on the faces. Is that the fish between his hands? Would have been great if you could have frozen it in the air. Good shot none the less. 8.
Great shot! Excellent composition and cropping. You've got enough of the surrounding area to definitly place the setting but still focus on the subjects.
I saw a documentary about this place one time -- these guys are hilarious. Cropping the bottom of the picture to eliminate the signs might have made it less "cluttered." At first I didn't like the motion blur, but the more I look at it, the more I think it needs to be there to convey what was probably happening.
Real live people! This picture has so much life and motion! I especially like the redhead's expression, watching for the fish even though he's not the one to catch it.... Very cool!
They don't miss very often. His hands in motion really work, but too bad the rest of him didn't hold still. Nearly perfect. Photo 9 Creativity 9 People 9 total 9
Good shot. Really gives the feel of the place. I haven't been there in 3 years and these were there vack then. My only comment is I wish you could have gotten the fish clearer.
