'Between Rounds' Photo

Photographer’s Note

In continuation with my Muay Thai series; a contender is seen to by his corner men massaging the arms and cooled off (?) with water.

I hope you like the shot,
- Dan

Thumbs up and hats off for this one too, Dan!

I love the playful role of the ropes in the composition, in which red rules.

Hello Dan,
I continue to appreciate your series. The boxer well framed between the re3d ropes and the dynamics and fatigue captured very well.
Regards,
Paul

Hi Dan,
I remember taking some shots of this intense sport as well. I like your moment you have captured here with the water running over his head and his tired expression. I like the toned down colouring too.
Regards
Wanda

Hiya again,
this one makes me think about this picture: http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/photo613021.htm which is one of my fave all time on TE.
I don't see the same strong deep feeling here. But still, there is a nice relation between the boxer and his corner man. I also like the water dripping.

Unfortunately for you, the man in the background (the one whose eyes are hid by the rope) kinds of ruins the shot. You are aware that all sports photographer have to deal with that kind of interference and unfortunately, some good shots are ruined by such simple things.

Do you still rent that lenses or you finally bought it? it is good isn't it?

see you,

Marc
