Highland Games

A few from a recent visit to the annual meeting of the Highland Games at Blackford. I've been there many times and have lots of traditional shots, so concentrated on events that were (relatively) new to me this year.

Thanks Roy. DoF and a little digital skullduggery ...

Some very good shots here Bill. I really like the look of exertion on the runner's face in #3. The first one is an excellent excellent character shot, although I could do with a little less of that support pole.

A great set of action shots. The right hand runner in the second image appears almost completely airborne.

Thanks Manfred and Bruce.

Here are some edits to take account of your comments and an additional shot to add to the "Action" theme.

I really like the matched pony-tails in the new shot. The other two are definitely improved too.

Yes, the matching pony-tails work well!
