Not usually interested in this type of shot but was looking for a sports picture for the club merit.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself as it turned out.

Any way this it the shot I selected for the merit.

I also got this picture and was going to use this but I felt it lacked something.

I think you made the right choice there Patrick. The first one has more action and drama and the fact you can see more of the person helps IMO. The second, whilst interesting lacks the same drama and man against nature feel. Good luck with your merit anyway

I too think you made the right choice! Fantastic shot! The juxtaposition of red & blue, makes the pic come alive! The concentration on the subjects face is well captured! Best of luck with the merit & the credit the pic deserves!

Thank You Jocelyn, it didn't do badly but not quite as well as hoped, I got a 3rd place with it in the set subject, I also got a 3rd place in the open section with another image.
The results gave me enough points to win the merit for the year, now I will have to find time to polish the cup for the next 12 months.

Patrick! Don't complain - congratulations and well done.

By the way, I liked both these images but didn't have time to comment yesterday. I can see why you included the first one for consideration, but found the second one intriguing... that shot makes you wonder what's going on!
