    Sport for all

    I have tried to put a bit of a theme to this set of images.
    #1 and #2 were taken in Perth, 25 miles from the nearest beach, the sand was all brought in.
    #3 Is my granddaughter's (2nd from the left) school sports day.
    C&C welcomed.

    The first two don't work all that well for me. When it comes to shots with people in them, faces are important and these are decidedly lacking in #1 and #2.

    #3 - yes, this is more like it with all of that concentration of the runners coming through. I find the crop just a bit tight on both the left and right edges of the image.

    #4 - I like this one too - it is both interesting and has a level of abstraction. We see the image of a person on the banner, and then we see the blue and white flags. Finally we see the people in the scene. That is an interesting guided journey and quite effective.

    I'm in agreement with Manfred although with the second image that group of girls sitting on the right side are obviously interested in the action and that greatly helps.

    Thanks Manfred for your constructive critique and positive comments.
    #3 I undid the crop on LHS and it does improve the image.
