I like this one from today, a street entertainer keeping the crowd busy while the water was took choppy for wakeboarding...

I like his focus (better than my focus :wink: )

Ooooh this so should be a 'caption it' thread!

That knife looks a little too close to comfort..I wonder how many times he has sliced himself doing his routine...

Pardon the pun...but good capture! :)

Was safe, had the 80-400 on, what a great range to play with. Love it for outdoor events, and the compression at 400mm gives a wonderful perspective, I love it :D :D

Hi Bruce,

No. 1 is very nice in terms of composition and candidness.

I've taken some shots of this guy at Darling Harbour more then once, and I love some of the facials he pulls while concentrating not to impale the audience. Nicely done.

Love both of these shots Bruce. Well done.

The first shot could do with straightening a little IMHO (maybe just to make me happier) :lol:

Well done.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

thanks for the feedback.

I framed in the camera to the foreground horizon line. the perspective is different in the background, but I chose to frame it this way. I cropped out some of the pier in the background, but needed to leave it in to show all of the blade...
