I love everything about this except the background, which I find distracting. I know you can't clone it out in basic, but with a different setting on the camera, or different lens, it would at least be out of focus. Right now it's distracting me. Sorry to have to mark you down because of that.
sorry, but dmnc. pretty picture, but it's more of a landscape with workout equipment than a sports action photo. if you gotten right behind the guy, shooting up into the sun, or above him, you might have gotten something closer to meeting the challenge.
