Triathlon

Massive annual event for kids this morning. Early start, thousands of people and blazing sun. Not quite the composition I was hoping for, but it was too difficult taking photos while being a parent. The crop is too tight but I like the light and the line of the waters edge.

[Lisa Targowska]

Great shot. Love the glistening light and the focus you've got on the runner.

[Claire]

Lovely shot.

[paolo balduzzi]

isn't b&w great?

[Lionel]

I like the composition.

[Lisa Pouncy]

I like the tight crop. Almost as if she's escaping from the shot xx

[Ingrid Budge]

@paolob It is indeed - in colour there is so much distraction in this image.

@psychographer I was hoping for a Degas type crop but bottled it.
