This about mile 20...they were getting pretty winded. It was amazing to see these people strive to make the finish line.

I dont know if I could run ONE mile...but I will try after watching these folks.

Very nice, quite a character you caught. Love how he is moving out of the picture while everyone else is moving in.

Billy Gibbons running the marathon in his hometown? Nah... but still very pretty capture. Not sure about the b/w choice, you could have bumped the contrast a bit to make the image stand out some more...

The runner needs some space in the right hand side of the frame.

I like this one. Since the focal point is running out of the frame(literally) it gives a good feeling of motion to the picture. 8 for now.

lead runner could be a bit more sharp

Man, that has got to be one hot beard...stinky too come the end of the marathon. Interesting shot, by the way. I like the overall feel and it is certainly an interesting subject.

Yup, he's singled out for sure. Perhaps more from his position relative to the camera. What a great character, nice capture.

Love the beard. Looks like a shot you'd see on the front page of the Chronicle. "Bearded Runner Wins the 5k!"
