This is where I turn around when I go cycling. Nice spot to rest and drink a sip of water before returning home. The whole ride is about 35km.

Not much research today. I just went in the field in the back of my house to capture these little fruits from a tree I have no idea how it's called (now is that a sentence or not…;) )

Marcel, a very good cute shot, however, I got to call you out on this one, it's plastic. :cool: Good Job. I'm surprised Pete didn't pick up on it, oh wait he read, the word chick and got all excited and stuff :p

No no no Rick, nothing plastic about this one. Just a tiny bit of sharpening that's all.

I love this last shot, Marcel! Were you on a bridge? I think I see the shadow. But it's nicely placed so that it doesn't interfere with the runners. Really excellent shot.

Thanks Helene
Yes, I was on a bridge. I had gone to get a shot of 2 dragon boats that were anchored in the nearby river. As I was walking, I saw the runners coming, but when they were under the bridge's shadow, nothing was interesting. It's when the sun made their shadow that I realized I had to act quick. And I mean really quick since I only could take one shot. It happened so fast that I even didn't have time to focus and let the VR stabilize. So the shot is a little unsharp. This is why I did apply the texture filter that makes the pavement look a little more interesting and hides the fact that the runners aren't as sharp as I would have liked them to be. But the shot could probably be staged again and made sharper the next time.
