This is wonderful Jeff. Both the runner and his shadow caught in mid-air! They sure are happy feet! #1354649

Carolyn M. Fletcher level-classic February 20, 2011

I am amazed by anybody who can run. I try to run when I'm in a hurry to catch a sunset, but I never seem to get anywhere. It's like slow motion (and it IS)..I think I can walk as fast as I can run. #9251003

Tammy M. Anderson level-deluxe February 20, 2011

As a runner myself I can totally relate to this although I don't hit the road, I hit the treadmill. Am planning to do the City to Surf in six weeks, 12k's but it will be a bit harder on my body, being on the road. You caught the moment perfectly Jeff. Outstanding action shot. #9251430
