A fighting chance |
How/Why I Did It:
I
took this when I was covering the opening of Ayton's first boxing club
for juniors - as a sort of experiment in motion. I realise there's a
lot of space in the shot but I wanted to emphasise the speed and motion
of the young boxers.

What
a wonderful picture. Nothing really sharp with the movement of the
fighters just suggested and added to this the bright colours make
an exciting scene. I like the way that you have taken the picture with
the two fighters just at one end with their two small figures almost
lost in what seems a very big ring.

This
really works for me. It is an example of a shot in which nothing
is sharp, and yet it conveys the intended impression. My only
comment is that it might be nice to reduce the yellow cast from the
artificial lighting just a little. In Photoshop, you can add a
cooling Photo Filter adjustment, but I’m not sure what is available in
Elements. It’s a great shot anyway.

I really like the colours here- the red, blue yellow and think the blur
effect has brought out the movement very well especially the left arm
of the boy with his back to us. I like the fact that you can just about
see the face of the boy facing us as well. My attention is drawn
to the 2 boys with the boxing ring forming a nice frame around them. I
like the fact that they are placed to the right of the frame. The blur
has removed some of the areas that are not so interesting. |

A
good trial in motion and love the main characters and the motion
captured with them. What I find distracting is the back grounds with a
light and dark extremes. We cannot always choose where we take a
picture from. I think I would have also liked a bit more detail in the
face shown and maybe a boxing glove or two. But a great way to try
things out.
