I like this photo, it has great appeal to the mechanics of the human being in motion. Great capture. Too bad, you didn't have a better quality camera ;(

Hello Stella,

This is a fabulous capture, and entirely underrated! How can 448 viewers before me view this image, and only two of them stop to appreciate it! The four separate runners not only display the different phases of the the sport, but three of them in midair reveal the parabolic trajectory that a projectile would define.

Warm regards (I just sent in an image from Corfu, citing you. I hope you don't mind).
