Vote for May's Challenge - The Thrill and Joy of Sport

[Michael Ventura]

This has been the toughest culling for me.  I could have easily added another 8 or 10 images that deserved to be in the final cut.  The winner of this challenge takes on June's topic!  If you click on the first image, you can then scroll them all at a larger view (at least you can do this in Chrome).

 

1) Tee Cee AC6AF7 Triple Jump

 

 

2) AV Pics KDNEAR Wheelchaired Racer

 

 

3) Alan Beastall H9PG4E Rugby

 

 

4) Regis R16XBY Run Run Run

 

 

5) Sally MJ4DHE Horse Racing at Musselburgh

 

 

6) John Mitchell EA0CGR Beach Volleyball

Thanks for including one of mine! Such a great collection of images altogether.

[John Mitchell]

Thanks very much for including one of mine, Michael. Didn't expect that as I'm not a very sporty guy.

 

Being a polite Canadian, I won't vote for myself. 😏

Wonderful selection.

Thanks Michael for including one of my images. Having won this challenge twice it is not easy picking the short list especially this challenge with such excellent images to pick from.

Hi Michael,

 

Thank you for including one of mine, I really didn't expect it, as sports is not really my thing.

And also, because I honestly believed that many photographs were much better than mine.

 

Good luck everybody.

[Doc]

Good selection Michael!

Some fantastic pics there but the Wheelchaired Racer is a truly outstanding picture - WOW. Absolutely amazing and barring miracles between now and the close of the vote is the clear winner. Well done AV Pics 👏👏👏.

[Michael Ventura]

While it is not midnight there or here, I think it is safe to say that AV Pics Wheelchaired Racer is a winner!  Congrats AV Pics and the June Challenge is in your hands!  Thanks again for all the wonderful photos and to all those who voted!!!

Absolutely a worthy winner well done.

[Avpics]

Wow, thank you very much for selecting that image. I found that whole event an incredible experience, of people overcoming adversity. A little bit rain isn't going to put them off!

[TeeCee]

Utterly cracking winner AV, you had my vote from the moment I saw it...

Congrats!

🙂

This is a super powerful and inspiring image.  I could easily see it being used in advertising and being in B&W makes it even that much more awesome!!  I wish it was mine!!

 

[Avpics]

Thanks once again. It was a gift of a situation in many ways, crying out to be monochromed to highlight the rainfall. Now I need to work out what to do next!
