[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another picture from the Royal Norfolk Show - this time of a demonstration by a woodsman showing how to get through an 11inch diameter log in the quickest time - 22 chops in this case. There are somewhere between 8,000 and 10,000 competitive woodsmen/lumberjacks in the world who compete at all sorts of events - the guy here was the world champion in 2005 and 2006

PP work - selected the background and added some gausian blur to make more of the subject matter but still retain some detail in the crowd. Resized and added the border

Love the expression on his face Mark.
I think you have good timing here as you can still see a chip of wood flying in the air.
This guy must be pretty fast, because he is already chopping, while the chip still flies around...

Great view you give here; straight forward.
And the colors and sharpness are great and I think you did well adding the blur to the background.

Cheers,
Anneke

Hello, Mark.

Terrific!

By Jove, this guy can chop! What an expression on his face and what a great impression of sheer power, especially with that chunk of wood flying through the air.

A few hundred years ago and this guy could have landed himself a plum job at the Tower of London!

Very clear and sharp capture with a nicely out-of-focus/blurred background.

Excellent!

Best Wishes,

John.

I love watching these guys Mark. The expression of determination well captured and good colour and detail. We have a few world champions in all forms of log cutting down this way. TFS,
David
