 Two knights in a combat demonstration at the Scarborough Fair renaissance festival in Waxahachie, Texas.

Pre-challenge notes:
I this may take some hits for being a slight shoehorn, since I needed to use the title to explain how it fits the theme. Not expecting too much from this one, but you never know.

Post-challenge notes:
Came in a fair amount better than I expected. Not bad for an action shot that I had no more control over than picking a good vantage point.

Good depth of field, with the action frozen well. Composition is lacking though.

Do these two do this every weekend when they are finished with their Halo 3 tournaments? I am guessing they drink Mountain Dew...:)

Is that his real nose? If it is, it certainly is an odd one. ;-)

Nice shot! Works well for the challenge, I think. And you can go back and shoot them again for Games ;-)

I'm guessing this is Yospiff. Nice color and sharpness. Good overall exposure for outdoors. I know it was chance but I like the way the left arm of the guy lines up with the banner in the background.
