Yes
As suspected, the over the top conditions sent out by the organisers was a complete ruse! Plenty of people shooting away yesterday!

Heres a few of mine;

1 - nice day for a run!

Cheers! I thought about cropping them but to do so (it what would be required) would take them out of context somewhat...

Only one comment? I'm surprised at that given the discussions on Tough Guy before the event! Maybe mods could move this to General Photo Sharing?
 
Looks like a few people had a nice stroll in the park, you have some really great photos, have to agree on the cropping point, but again when you look at the context aspect, yes cropping would maybe take away from the original image.

It looks to be a frustrating day in parts as there are a lot of people getting in the way, but that is an aspect that I am becoming increasingly aware of taking photos at local rugby games.

Kudos has to go out to you for staying out there taking photos in that cold, on Saturday I only covered the first half of the rugby match I was at because it was so cold and the bar seemed a more appealing choice of location ;)

I find it amusing that nearly all the cameras featured in your photos are Canon ;)

and they do this for fun.........................????

great shots though'
 
Lol cheers guys! A fluke all the cameras are canons I assure you!
 
Ok I tried a couple of crops (not massively cropped) as discussed, I think they work?

Crazy as always! There are some good shots in there, but as other have said I'd be tempted to crop most in a bit (or a lot) tighter. It's all pretty dramatic stuff, so you can get away with aggressive angles and crops in my opinion.

yep, 50/50ish probably.

Good photos, well done :D

number 1, the bondage dudes, you could probably crop the right hand side guy out altogether, bit distracting seeing half of him
 
Great pics Dune, looks like you got about a bit more than me!
