SPORT.
It could be fast paced action, or contemplation of a result, or concentration study, up to you.

In order to be fair to all that has different time zones, it will close on Friday 16 March 6pm my time

, that is one week and about 5 hours from now.

Here are the past challenges:

Week 1 - Statue
Week 2 - Wheels
Week 3 - Speed
Week 4 - Peace
Week 5 - Survival
Week 6 - Macro
Week 7 - Mountains
Week 8 - Children
Week 9 - post processing
Week 10 - Windows and doors

Good luck and may the sport be with you.

It was difficult to choose as I have so many very baaaaad images from which to make a selection.

This was shot in one of the later stages of The 100 Acre Woods ProRally as part of RallyAmerica. I really liked this shot because the team used a car color which was inherently easy to photograph. There were a few cars that day that were dark orange or brown in color, and given the rust colored mud and the dark background, I really struggled in post processing to make the look good at all. I really know now what magazine mean when they say some car colors photograph better than others.

After looking through my sport photos it had to be yachting from the City of Sails.
P-class racing in Auckland. Concentration!

This is shaping up to be a fun contest. I've enjoyed all the phots thus far. Arpe has his work cut out for him.

Taken at a local 8th grade basketball game with the D FA 100 f2.8 macro and K10D.

Hey Thommo, I don't see how I could possibly award any prizes to a photo featuring the Brumbies!!

Haven't you noticed my avatar?

(just kidding in case you didn't realise)
