How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Harry, this image is so excruciatingly excellent on every level that - if not already - it should be acknowledged by every award available and appropriate.
    Can't take my eyes off!

    Wow, I'm not used to that kind of response. Usually its rocks and sticks hurled in my direction. Thanks very much.

    Not too much with the how part. Andy Williams and myself just positioned ourselves a thrid of th way from the starting point of the race. We laid down in the middle of the course and took our captures as the runners raced by and over us. It was a tad dusty and the Maazai seemed to enjoy covering us with the dust.

    Harry,

    This one definitely has the wow factor.

    I have been looking at images on the web for lots of years and, without exploding your head, you have some of the best life captures of anyone that I've seen.

    If you have read any of my comments, I'm pretty stingy with accolades, but I really admire your work and the post processing that you use.

    Good to have you as a member of the forum.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Ed
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.
    Educate yourself like you'll live forever and live like you'll die tomorrow.
