 Jousting, some say, has been around since 1066. It's the age-old art of knocking your chain-mail clad foe off his horse and on his ass. Around the year 1200, a code of ethics developed between fighting men, which had never occurred before. This positive code of ethics became known as chivalry, a word that would always be associated with knights. But soon jousting in warfare became obsolete, yet jousting as a sport survived, evolving into a showmanship tournament. And the art of jousting is still revered around the world, especially at the U.S. International Jousting Competition held every September at the Longs Peak Scottish/Irish Highland Festival in Estes Park, CO.

Where's the product? Why is this even an entry in this challenge? Though, it is a nice action shot.

Looks like a lot of fun, but I think this counts as a DNMC for me. Just seems more like an action shot than a product shot to me.

Although I don't feel this would work good as a "product shot", the rest of the qualities of the photo are excellent. Good use of limited DOF. Excellent color and sharpness. If only the ropes weren't in there. And great stop action also.

Not sure about the viability of this as a product but it's a great action shot, very clear and a perfect cropping.
