Sure, I've seen this done before, but you pulled this one off tremendously. You could easily submit this to a newspaper as a feature photo on a hot day.

Originally posted by glad2badad: I like the perspective you have here. Fun to look at. Looks like you could have gone up a notch or two yet on shutter speed to totally freeze the action. B/W was a good decision to keep the viewer on topic. Good luck in the challenge.

Hey Skip - Congrats on a nice finish with this image. Many times after a challenge I'll go back thru some of the comments I made and see what others said to kind of get an idea if I was on track, etc... I'm scratching my head a bit as to why I said a higher shutter speed could have been used. I think I had 'Stopped Motion' on the brain at the time. The way you've shown just a little blur actually helps convey the action in this shot. Looks like you had fun getting it also (as usual). ;^)

Anyway - Smile and keep having fun!
Barry
