Nice freeze, though technically it's a shame the cox is cut off and I'd probably prefer it if the boat was slightly higher in the frame, which would show the blades coming out the water. Down by Donnie Bridge is the best place to catch the emotion in the crews before they just become knackered, which you've done well.

I would have liked to have got some of torpids this year, but even with IS, having raced, it's pretty impossible to hold a camera still. Nevertheless, I should have some shots of Magd M1 coming in (Head of the River in Eights and now Torpids too for the first time since 1934) which I'll go through later. And it has to be said, for a first boat (that's St. Hugh's M1) they're not particularly in time :nono:.
