 Two knights in a combat demonstration at the Scarborough Fair renaissance festival in Waxahachie, Texas.

Pre-challenge notes:
I this may take some hits for being a slight shoehorn, since I needed to use the title to explain how it fits the theme. Not expecting too much from this one, but you never know.

Post-challenge notes:
Came in a fair amount better than I expected. Not bad for an action shot that I had no more control over than picking a good vantage point.

Well it looks like the other guy is about to get his ass kicked... well something like that.... Great subject!

Good depth of field, with the action frozen well. Composition is lacking though.

Do these two do this every weekend when they are finished with their Halo 3 tournaments? I am guessing they drink Mountain Dew...:)

Is that his real nose? If it is, it certainly is an odd one. ;-)

Nice shot! Works well for the challenge, I think. And you can go back and shoot them again for Games ;-)

I'm guessing this is Yospiff. Nice color and sharpness. Good overall exposure for outdoors. I know it was chance but I like the way the left arm of the guy lines up with the banner in the background.
