Having taken in excess of 300 shots of yesterday's triathlon held at Paimpont, I now know (if I didn't before!) that I'm not - and never likely to be - a sports photographer... boy, that stuff is hard to do! I couldn't let all that effort pass without posting something on here though, so here's a photo of one of the lady competitors during the cycle leg climbing the hill into Paimpont to begin her second road circuit.

Pops nicely viewed on black...

Brilliant shot for capturing this colourful racer on his quest for speed!

[Linda]

Great shot! You've captured her face and body beautifully!

[PhotoCrazy]

Nice capture

[Ashley]

It is hard work - but you've done it so well!

[Taffy]

Haha! Love your comment about sports photography...I agreed to photograph our College's picnic at the end of the month and am already dreading the processing side of it!

[Tom]

Nicely captured, I love it Richard; a wonderful photo

[Joan]

Sports photography, well anything with movement is a challenge for me as well.. But this image is a great catch..

[gloria jones]

Great action shot, composition

[Beth]

2 out of three of my children are very athletic so I was forced to learn sports photography, not an easy task.

[Dianna Coile]

Nice focus on her face. You can really see her determination.

[Rachel]

I like the blur that suggests she is travelling quite fast. Great shot of her.

[Rosan]

Great action shot! Nice panning to give the background blur and sense of motion and super focus on her face. Super job, done like a pro!

[Margo Sayer]

Very fit lady, well rendered.

[Dianne]

This image is very well done!

[Margaret Obey]

Great shot, I love the definition of muscles

[Jo]

I think you have captured her and the movement well, I don't know which is worse, cycling in the pouring rain or up a hill!

[Richard Sayer]

@jo13 Cycling up a hill in the pouring rain... with the wind in your face! Running (my thing) is just as bad in those conditions.

[Joan Robillard]

Okay I have messed up again and missed your photos which means some others. That seems to happen when I peck away while at commenting while I am doing other things. Looks like a good job of panning. I think this is harder to do on something moving slower and a car is really easier to pan.

Great one!
(It requires a lot of practise, i'm sure.)

[Danny G.]

Great action capture.

[Krista Marson]

great focus on the biker.

[Pete Roberts]

Pretty good shot to me Richard. You have certainly captured the movement.

[Carla]

Worth the effort Richard. A super shot x

[Christine]

Great capture

[Yeshanghai]

Amazing capture

[Barbara Webb]

Action shots are hard - great capture!

[Fisher Family]

A nice action shot with a great sense of motion - and I agree, action shots are really hard, as I've discovered taking shots of the Tour de France last year and the Tour de Yorkshire this year!
