[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It is amazing to see these athletes explode off the blocks and to see the horizontal position of their bodies at this instant. This shot required a faster shutter speed both because the movement was very fast and because too much motion blur with so many subjects could have been confusing.

Hi Roger,

Spectacular image. I love how you have frozen the action at this point, when the girls are almost horizontal. Wow, great shot lots of power and movement, yet a great still shot!

Well done and TFS,

John

Great timing here Roger and well chosen point of view, resulting in a very dynamic image. The diagonal composition emphasizes the action even more. The missing leg of the #1 athlete would be a minor issue to point out.

Hi Roger; another great one. I'm running out adjectives, but I can say that I'm really loving this series of shots. Again, the power of these atheletes as they burst out of the blocks is astounding. Great capture.
Trudy

Such a fantastic series!!! You have captured all of these 'decisive moments' perfectly. The lighting and sharpness are perfect. TFS

great timing Roger and the angle is perfect. Tfs

OgGie

You captured it beautifully, I'm envious!

Hi Roger,
Good timing and excellent POV of this action shot, beautiful colors and clair picture, Well done,
Michel

Tremendous energy in this shot, Roger. You really caught the "decisive moment"; they are suspended in mid-air, almost horizontal in position, with every ounce of kinetic energy going in the forward direction. Great sharpness with just hints of blur, which further suggest energetic movement. Well done.

Bonjour Roger
Une très bonne prise de vue nette et très bien gérée au niveau de l'exposition.
Une très bonne image de sport.
Bravo et bonne journée.
Cordialement

Hi Roger
I keep looking at the stop action you have created! All the different poses by the ladies! One action but much to see..
Wonderful job getting this one so clear and sharp!

Tricia

Perfect timing Roger. Great image.

Hello Roger.
This one is very cool! Looks like they are flying.
Thanks for sharing. BTW I got Your message and think this is a good idea but not very suitable for the country I live in. There is just no demand for such services. BTW don't You have any Instant Messenger? ICQ ? Skype?

Hi Roger,

Super timing here, you have captured the explosive power straight off the blocks, to think 30 years ago I was Ayrshire champion over 100 mts.

Hi Roger,
Great action shot.
I love the angle of the athletes. Its amazing as it looks like they should fall flat on their faces!
Well captured.
Only thing I would consider is cloning out the track official.
Well done

This is a great one, Roger! So much power in this moment - perfect timing! Amazing to see that even at 1/500s there is motion blur - they are moving!

Awesome work, terrific composition across the frame.

Hi Roger

A superb sports action shot, & a fantastic decisive moment, freezing the athletes mid air. Superb sharpness & color. Tfs!

Beautifull shot and perfect timing to take the picture. Regards Clanyi

Hi Roger,
Great timing, well chosen pov, great sharpness, beautiful colours.
It's a dynamic image; the athletes actually are "falling" into the starters 'gun'-shot.
Greetings,
Henri
