Thank you for all of your great comments. This is the West end part of Nashville for the "Country Music Run". There are 20 bands through out the run to play music for the runers.
I got several comments about showing people runnig towards the camera. I agree that it may look better, but I was hang over that moring at 7 am and not about to walk all the way down the street to show a shoot up the hill. Plus i like showing the massive amount of people running. I have about twenty shoots of the event and some look towards the crowd, but they did not look as impressive as this shoot.
My thought on post prosseing... Still getting used to my Mac.. News shoots do not get edited as much as DPC users tend to like, it's all about making the next edition.... (yes I may have gone over the top, but loved the colors)
As far as the titel... DEAD ON , something similar was shown in the paper the next day as a head line (Big event in Nashville).
Looks like something I'd see in a magazine article for "promoting a healthy lifestyle". I like the journalism angle to this one. To me though, it looks a little "overcooked" in PP.
great depth & distance, it's a shame the runners aern't face on. Personally I would have tried to get a more central shot, the traffic light breaks up the runners a little.
Came and ran: past tense. Switch the photo to people running towards the viewer and it would be an event in the here and now. Possibly more interesting too.
