In reply to Denise / Mrs. GeoK. Thank you! I have always had the passion for sports photos. It takes time and I'm still amazed at how many "throw away" shots I have to get a few I like. I'm glad you continue to take part in the monthly challenge as I enjoy looking at your photos just as much!

Every month I look forward to your sports action shots! They are always so beautifully composed, focused on just the right spot and perfectly sharp…a source of both inspiration and aspiration. That first surfing photo that you selected…you couldn’t have asked those seagulls to arrange themselves any better to both frame the image and draw the eye to the surfer. Just excellent! Your extended family must clamor for your photos of their children in action.

Thanks for continuing to host the monthly PBC. It’s great to see participation slowly creeping up. 🙂

In reply to Donna. Thanks so much for the comments. And I am glad to see that choosing that first photo has worked out well. There's really something about it. Even the water on the left side of it as he walks away.

In reply to Katherine. Thank you so much, Katherine! It's the one thing I look for whenever I go to the shore (and I might have the chance to get back there next weekend for a day and a half or so ...) because it's so interesting. Would love to find bigger waves to get cooler shots, though!

In reply to Danielle Kempe. The hydrant was interesting that I drove past, thought about it, turned around and then took the photo from my car. I figured at worst, I don't use it! Didn't want to miss the chance though!

In reply to lisa. Thanks so much, Lisa! This was definitely a fun month's theme and there's still something about that first photo that really seems to tell a story!
