I love all of the excitment and energy you caught in this image.Great shot Joe. I particularily like that you captured one skater, in the background, losing balance and just about to fall. #6890600

Very nice, Joseph. I love "winter crowd" shots because of all the splashes of color. Of course, this one has a grand setting! #6890749Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
