One cannot help but love this! #1286674Bill Johnson July 10, 2010
Thanks Michelle. #8746008Charlotte LaBarbera July 16, 2010
O.K. - What's your secret for getting an image so sharp with so much action? Lens or camera? #8768598Bill Johnson July 17, 2010
Charlotte, Both the lens and camera are part of it. The lens is 100-400 canon zoom and the camera is also the 1dmark IV. I shot this at f 5.6 with a shutter speed of 1/1600. The focus is AI focus. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. #8769811ALLEN O. HOWARD August 13, 2010
ZAP!!! As good as it gets Bill! Congratulations! #8828985Bill Johnson August 14, 2010

Lindley, Thanks so much for looking and taking the time leave a comment. #8833463Charlotte LaBarbera August 16, 2010
Bill - Love this image. It's one of my favorite photos of people. Hope it's a winner! #8841099Bill Johnson August 17, 2010
Thanks Charlotte, The winners are out for this month and this one didn't advance. Thanks for your support. #8844225Charlotte LaBarbera August 19, 2010
Bummer! I'm noticing that most "people" winners are usually more portrait looking vs. action or decisive moment. However, the first place winner this month was an action shot. I tend to favor these kind of images. #8848241Bill Johnson August 19, 2010
Thanks. Yes I've noticed that too. Sports shorts rarely get beyond the finalist level. #8848438Bill Johnson August 19, 2010
Nor do sports SHOTs either. :) #8848522Charlotte LaBarbera August 19, 2010
I am laughing out loud - at your sense of humor. I completely missed the sports shorts. #8848570Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
