[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my first post of a self portrait. Can't find too many pictures of me since I am mostly the one taking the picture.

Badminton a fast growing racket sport here in the Philippines. Old or closed warehouses are being renovated/converted to badminton centers since this sport is quite a smash here in the country and I think mostly in South East Asia as well. This was taken during the finals match in our Company Tournament.

Done some PP work by adding motion blur and smudging the edges to intensify the lunging motion. Added some contrast, sharpness, then cropped, and framed.

I'll post the original in the Workshop and try playing with the photo as you wish.

Great PP work!

Hi Rossell,

This is a beautiful action shot. Would have been more terrific if the ball (not sure whether that's the term) were included.

Cheers,
Danilo

Hi Rossel- nice self portrait and an added green medal for the degree of difficulty!

Regards,
Steve

Really good. Really VERY good. So this wasn't done with a timer and it just must have been someone else who shot it? Do THEY get the two points I am about to award? No - it's yours.
As someone else said it would have been a total winner if the (squash?) ball had been IN but we can't expect miracles. No - it's badminton, isn't it?
