Pavel Baar

Clytoneus grounds, Woerden, The Netherlands view map

This close-up sports action is among my favourites because it shows the eyes, muscles and discus very well, despite the net through which I had to shoot. Shooting this sport is not easy: you either have to risk your camera and yourself by putting your camera under the net, or you have to shoot through the net, of course with manual focus, and risk the net obscuring essential parts of the image. When you succeed hoewever, I think the net adds to the atmosphere of the image. What I do not like here is my overthusiastic selective highlighting in postprocessing, which is especially clear in the thumbnail. Should have restrained myself....
