Wow Riz, great capture of this very decisive moment! I like the choice of Black and White here. Good motion of their quick hands, also noticed the girl, third to last, she rocks! Good job Dave, keep these military images coming...

They're very precise. They're all doing the same thing at the same time. Staying steady and not moving the rest of their body. Very well captured, especially in such a difficult lighting.

Very good motion blur. Black and white suits this picture very well. Split second timing. Very well done.

Perspective, repetition and capture of movement are excellent, Dave. This can only be done in B&W. The low light conditions - as well as their concentration - add to the scene. But most of all I like their hand movements gradually being lower the further back you look. And when the eyes walk up front again, it's as if they actually move their hands! Brilliant - very well done!

I love the military images Davian, your shot shows one smooth motion between the seven gunner's mates, very good capture.

Good timing, i like the sequence partially shown by the GMs blurred hands. I've never a tried an IR filter, but the end result in b&w is great, an interesting view of the military practicing and practicing and practicing. Well done.

Dear Davian, I like how the head are in one line and the feet seem to form a diagonal. Indeed the motion makes this picture special as you said. That no one is directly looking at the camera is good as it shows how they are focused on their task. Nice work !!!
BTW GM also stands for grandmaster in chess and right now the world championship takes place in Switzerland and Kramnik leads 1,5 - 0,5 against Leko. Just in case that someone is interested ;-) Yours, Jan
