Pounding the Pavement

Pounding the Pavement on Fifth
Pounding the Pavement on Fifth
We have a lot of hills in Pittsburgh, and this was shot as runners crested one of them during a rainy marathon.

Just a bit of trivia -- Carnegie Mellon University is located about a mile to the left, and they passed the University of Pittsburgh campus a mile back.

Category -- Monthly Theme.

Great shot and effects. You are lucky you didn't get run over though.

  Terrific perspective, Mary Beth - that rainy pavement and overcast sky make for nice lighting here, I think. Excellent processing for the image, too.

  A "lot" of hills? A marathon in Pittsburg must be a real challenge!

  Great monthly theme entry.... I've spent way too many hours either training or running marathons.... I just can't get my mind and body to agree to do it anymore.

  WOW! Great capture of expressions as well as storytelling quality. This image is actually 2 in 1... character studies as well as when viewed as a whole, a street scene.
I think this one is headed for the Gold:)
