[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I know speed skating season is over since three months, but the pros already did start with their ice training again on indoor tracks like Heerenveen in the Netherlands, Calgary in Canada and Salt Lake City in the USA.
This is a shot of South Korean speed skater Joon Mun I did take some years ago at the outdoor track of Inzell in Bayern, South-Germany.
It's just after they did fire the starting gun of the 500 meters during a World Cup event.

Thanks in advance for viewing and comments.
Kind regards, Harry

Ho Harry,
A really pro-shot my friend. Excellent captured this starting speed skater 'in the shot'! I must admit you have impressive photo equipement, but you are using it very well. I'm really happy with your TL-membership and I have the impression I (we) can learn a lot from you! Well back to the posting; what more to say than a perfect addition to the TL-sport theme and so mucht skating pictures I don't see here on TL, very refreshing picture. Looking out for more.

Belissima imagem em movimento...nitidez e cores magnificas.

Hi Harry,

This is a superb Capture filled with action. The expressions of the Skater tells how hard he is working.

The back ground text is of the same color of the Skater and you really managed it well to show it differentiated.

Well done and TFS.

With best regards,
Muhammad Usman Ali

The perfect sport photo. Good Job.

Hi Harry

That is a stunning action shot, sometimes the problem with frozen action is that it removes the sense of energy but this shot still retains the feeling of energy. I think you have achieved this through the low POV, the excellent framing and the captured pose. Nicely done

Karan

Hi Harry,
That's a very good action shot. Can really feel the dynamic in this picture.
The impression of his face is rather funny I think.

Thanks,
Christian

Very well caught sportsman, the light is perfect and the tight garments emphasize the strain in the muscles.
Thanks for sharing,
Tibi

Wonderful sports shot - freezing the moment perfectly, and still giving the sense of speed and power. Colours are vibrant and I love the composition. Great stuff!
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Cool frozen moment Harry.

No effect of speed needed here. The immobility instead shows very well the effort and all muscles working in the initial impulse.

Bright and colorful textures of his suit are excellent too. Bravo!
