Looks fabulous on my monitor; even in the darkest sectors, there's enough detail to hold interest. The crop's great and bonus marks for the bloke.

I know that feeling well and its never nice, glad she was ok!
Then of course the way they come in so cat like and unperturbed by anything as if it was a completely normal day, when you have been worried sick.

Still doing the business after all these years- the lens that is. Vibrant, sharp, and no PF that I can see. This lens hardly ever disappoints...

h that's a biggish lens to take shopping! Arresting foreground focus plus some interesting variations in oof rendering.

Grand! Shadow on red is captivating. The seated figure with all the athletic elements really gel when I read the sign "Man in the Arena"

Neat arch being so dark.
I read your 100% photo comment. Funny how we judge our own work eh? I figure 90% of mine at least are plain crap, I like everyone elses though.
I do enjoy this little group though and if not for this I think I would hardly use my cameras.

Thanks all.

@Cindy, I'm not a smugmug user (unless you count flickr haha). I use domain hosting and Piwigo open source photo gallery software. I've had this site running for about twenty years, which I started as a place for family photo sharing... Started using it more heavily for my photography hobby as well maybe six or seven years ago, primarily because I decided that flickr was going to only be for my "better" photos. My thinking was that 99% of my photos are not very good so that 1% to flickr would work out nicely. Shortly after making the switch though I realized that 100% of my photos are not very good, and I struggled a lot with deciding which photos should go to flickr... So posted to flickr less and less over time and now it's an extremely rare occurrence, especially because I so rarely make photos that I think are worthy. So rare that I don't even consider it anymore. I do get tempted sometimes out of boredom to switch back to flickr, but then I'd have to pay for it, and I already pay for my domain hosting service (about the same price as the flickr membership).

I love this!
You're mastery of light and shadows never cease to amaze. Rich, dense color and well composed with all the elements coming together beautifully. Kudos to your workout. I need to get back to the gym.

good use of the arch. nicely composed. Like the framing here. I'm thinking of migrating to smugmug ... do you use it for privacy?

This is superb! Love the shadow...perfectly captured. Man in the arena sign is a good inclusion too.
