The umper cleared the bar and I liked the expression on his face.

The expression on his face definitely makes this image. You caught him near the peak of his jump and he is sharp. Do I see a thumbs up gesture as well? Posted: 04/14/2024 15:33:02
Yes, nearly top position. Face expression is unusual. Sharp image. Background is a little bit distractive. Posted: 04/21/2024 08:35:20
Hi Dave. Yes I agree with others a fine capture you have been able to get into a bar height position with the camera, how, did you raise the camera above your head? It also appears the jumper has considerable room to spare almost 100-150mm, was this just a warmup jump? A most unusual shot, very well done. Posted: 04/24/2024 01:59:08
Ron, there was a chair for the judge/recorder of this event - they chose to stand and I stood on the chair - got 16 more inches or so in height Posted: 04/29/2024 17:15:50
Surely the peak of the action. His expression is good. The background is quiet, for a track and field event. Nice. Posted: 04/28/2024 01:55:57

Good choice to stand on an empty chair; it gives an unusual perspective. The jumper is sharp and he's looking toward the camera. Posted: 04/30/2024 02:38:04
