Hi: I came across these men pulling cable for the utility company and realized if I wait around I might get a good fun shot, when they did grab the cable after a brief rest I snapped one photo only and was very pleased. I just cropped out a part of a bench on the left..... Hope you enjoy it.....and thanks for peeking in.....Roman:0)

PS... In San Miguel,Cozumel

nice compo Roman
even the leaves r leaning in the same direction gives an interesting feel to the capture

I love the action in this picture. Too bad that tree wasn't a little more to the right to clear that one guy who doesn't seem to be pulling his wait as much as the others. The second guy is really getting into it... like I said love the action. The wind sweeping the palm leaves in the same direction pulls it all together. I was trying to figure out a better way to capture more of the intensity by getting rid of palm all together, but it didn't work... it just got kinda boring. I had it all narrowed in with the first four guys. I don't really know how to do a workshop thing so I could share it with you

hi roman, great moment captured, the fast shutter speed really made for a sharp one, did they win the tug o'war ? haha
thanks,
scott

Hi Roman,

Good eye for a photo op!
Nice action shot !

I laughed whe I saw this Roman. I have taken many similar shots in my last trip to SE Asia. Interesting to see that our minds operate alike when it comes to photo composition. I do like the one-directional effort shown in this image. Best regards...Danilo

Witaj Roman.
Good moment captured.
It must be hard work!
Best regards

Excellent "story" shot:) The body position of the man second from the left adds an interesting extra measure of strain and energy to the scene. All the visual and compositional elements work well together...right down to the shadow of the palm tree! Good work:)
