The Prize

**Celebrate Victory**

These are the trophies from the 4th of July 5K Race last year in our home town. (I simply used a narrow dof to get this effect - No DD) - Another view is in the comment section.

Canon 70-200L IS at 200mm. ISO 400, Early-Morning, 1/2,000 @ f3.2, EC -1/3 (MT)

This is a homemade flag, by a local church group, used to decorate the table that the 5K Race trophies were placed on.

A narrow depth of field allowed for this motion effect.

  What a glorious photo op those 5k trophies were, Jeff! And you certainly made the most of it ~ your knowledge of dof gave the figures the effect of "literally" running! Outstanding work and MT entry!
Winner!

  This has so much to offer. The flags for the 4th of July, beautiful action with that dof, selective focusing, and a fantastic MT for celebration. I think you should get one of these for having a Winner here my friend.

  I so much enjoy your work, Jeff. You obviously know your camera very well. I dream of the day my Nikon D90 becomes "an extension of my arm" and not a challenge trying to express myself. I love my Canon pocket camera. Great quality for the ease of using it...then I let my DDR do my magic. How cool that you didn't even use PS!

Love all three images!
