Running hot by dulciknit

Running hot

We're experiencing what we think of as a heat wave here at the moment, although I suspect folks from other countries would think that temperatures in the high20s/low30s C, low to mid 80s F are for beginners!
This was taken on a recent evening's excursion to Windsor. These two must be dedicated, is all I can say.
Edit. Re-cropped in Picmonkey. Thank you to @jennywren for the inspiration to do it.

Thank you so much for all the great feedback on my posts, I really appreciate your time and kindness.
They get pleasure from that?? I don't know where they get the dedication from, great capture!

Love the shot and so glad summer has arrived.

what gorgeous lighting! beautiful shot.
As for the joggers ..... pure madness! :)

What a beautiful area for jogging - or walking, which makes far more sense to me. Don't see nearly as much when you're jogging. Beautiful summer shot. (And oh how I'd love to see the 80's - it's hitting 100 right now.)

Nice pov looking down the avenue to the tower. I have seen joggers out in the middle of the day recently!

@jennywren Thank you, Jenny. You've made an interesting point about the way the composition was working in this shot - namely that your eye was being drawn to the tower. On the strength of what you said, I've re-cropped and I think the emphasis is better placed on the runners now. Thank you for that.

Great shot! Love the crop and the light. Definitely the emphasis is on the runners with this crop (didn't see the other, but this one works!)

Happy birthday to you as well.

Very nice capture. Lovely lane with the trees serving as leading lines.
Here it's hot, humid, and rainy...

PS. Happy birthday, dear. A little bird just told me:)

Great shot! Love the light and the view down the path. Yes, the focus is on the runners. It works very well this way. Is it your birthday? Happy day to you, Alison!

Goodness not everyone gets such a backdrop to their jog. Like their look of concentration

@anazad511 @pflaume Thank you, ladies! xx

They must be dedicated. In Summer, temperatures never fall below 30C (daily highest) and still you see people jogging. For me, exercise is swimming.

Lovely colors of the trees.
July 19th, 2013  
A nice composition. The green trees cool the shot down. I don't envy the runners.

wonderful candid image xx

Great candid shot,a lovely setting,but it's a bit hot for that!!
July 19th, 2013  
Lovely perspective...great crop emphasizing the runners.
July 19th, 2013  
Your re-crop did as you wanted...I noticed the runners first before my eyes explored the rest of the scene. I like that castle in the distance :)

Like it. Nice colours in the light. Great capture of that. You get a definite feeling of warm sun and cooler shady areas. Like it.
