You have caught the action well. The image leans a little towards overexposure but it doesnt detract.

This is a great image. I changed it to B&W in photoshop and it has a greater impact than in color IMO as the blue running track tends to draw they eye. Great capture.

good, but not outstanding sports image...the composition is a little messy and the background could have been blurred out better with a more open aperture and a faster shutter speed...5
