I find that my ability to hold the camera steady in awkward positions has deteriorated with age. I hope that your workout regimen makes this easier for you. In this case, I liked the composition, so decided to see what I could salvage. However, it is not a substitute for a sharp photograph.<<<<<<<,, Hi Jim, Sharpness is a must in most cases. However, having the knowledge in how to "save a moment of visual time" using some kind of "Artistic License" :-) is OK when necessary. I'm not saying in every case, but in this I feel it kind of saved the day. The bottom line is as long as it still makes folks oooohhhh and aaaawwww over the picture then it's cool for a touch of the Artist in you! :-) I have no doubt my work outs make a difference in handling any of the gear or carrying a hefty camera bag on the left shoulder. Not only that, it just makes for a better overall physical well being.
