(and I will try the swishy pans at one of the coming events). The title I used here, I think was misleading. ...my first race, in the vortex.....was referring to the boy, sharp, central and focussed (in the vortex) with the race dashing on... in front of and behind him...... I figured the speed in the foreground would take care of itself....and I was just very lucky to have this shot, with the boy seen central, and between two racers. ...... which is why I PAWed it. :-) thanks, Steve > Steve Barbour wrote & showed: > >>> I tried Don Dory's suggestion, cropped down, worked on levels..I liked > the > > result...that is what you now see at the PAW site below...thanks Don, > > http://www.kididdoc.com/index.htm/PAW/3.jpg<<<<<< > > Hi Steve, > If this is your first bike event you've done very well for a rookie. ;-) > What helps make the shot work is the boy in the background caught between > two cyclists.
