About the Image(s)

This image was captured at a mud obstacle course event. This obstacle is a long path in a field covered in thick and deep mud that participants must crawl through. They must stay low, close to the mud, so the barb wire does not cut their heads. The mud really stinks too and it’s covering their bodies. I love the intensity on their faces and how they are really trying to get through this ordeal. A quote from the “Tough Mudder” obstacle course company: “Tough Mudder creates hardcore obstacle courses designed to test your all-around strength, stamina, and mental grit."

I handheld a Canon EOS 60D with a 100-400mm lens at 100mm, ISO 800, 1/2000 sec, f8.
