Challenge: In The Style Of: jmritz (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: Challenges 2012
Camera: Canon EOS-7D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: Point Fermin Park
Date: May 17, 2012
Aperture: 5.0
ISO: 160
Shutter: 1/200
Date Uploaded: May 22, 2012

 This gentleman was in search of enlightenment in a park in San Pedro. He and his wife (I am assuming it was his wife) were both practicing Tai Chi, but some distance apart from each other. I tried not to intrude. Put plastic wrap over the lens, purposely overexposed a bit. Square crop because I liked the way it felt when I cropped it that way.

I can safely conclude that it is very very hard to get the amazing results Mr. Ritz gets when he goes out into the world with his camera. My hat's off to you, good sir, and thanks so very much for the work that you share with us.

It took me some time to truly appreciate this, but now it's definitely one of the best shots for me.

How else would one feel during tai chi? You captured balance and peace.. I shall not vote, I can't pay the bill. However, I would surely give this a 10.
