#38 - New attempt

travelways

Hi, here are 3 other shots I took yesterday at a skating ring:)

1. Skating can be risky



2. Free style



3. Learning steps



What do you think - can any of them be candidate for the "oops" challenge?

Thank you for looking

PS: I can go again and take others, if none is good.

Nobody likes my skating kids?

Here is another:



Any thoughts, please?

Well they made me laugh out loud.

For the contest I think #2 (free style) might work--it's oops because he fell and the way it's motion blurred and the comp with only the leg showing of the adult. I think this might just work.

The rest of the series is pretty funny and my favorite shot is #3--that's what I look like when I ice skate and need to be dragged away from the ice.

I think #2 shows it the best. The leg extended out in front and the arm swinging in a blur above the head really add to the idea.

The photos were intended to provoke laughter. I'm glad they did

I moved my new photo on a new thread:

I think #2 Freestyle really works for the theme.

I don't find the last one offensive, but I think it doesn't say Oops as strongly as #2.

I think #3 with the girl in the pink jacket suits suits "oops" for me the best. What would have been funnier is if she had both legs off the ice with dad holding her up by the jacket. But it's very cute and a nice image for the challenge.

Ha, ha... this is a matter of chance - I don't know any of the skaters - I just went there and took some shots. I'll go again, maybe I'll be luckier

Thank you so much for the idea

I really like 2 and 3. They both have wonderful oops qualities that shout the theme. Its a matter of taste that will decide I suppose. But you can't go wrong with either of them in my book.

#2 for me... Really like the motion in this one.

I'd like to thank you very much for your comments.

I submitted #2 as being the most popular.

I was hoping however to find something more exciting - actually to have the opportunity
to take that shot I had in mind, but it requires a model - one of my neighbors
which was gone away this week. I saw that she just got came back, so maybe she
will want to cooperate

Thank you again so much.

#2 works for me...
