A nice set, but I think a little sharpening in software is needed IMHO.

I'd imagine that road running is a hard sport to get a decent photo of when you're not at the start or finish. Do they still have "stations" where people hand out wet sponges? I can see a good photo in that!

 

[mickhall]

come on whiteflower tell me what software you used, tryied photoshop still learning about sharpness and all that!!

Mickhall, get yourself a hold of "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers" by Scott Kelby. I read reviews and bought it from that, and now two other photographer friends have, having borrowed/read it, now bought themselves copies too. Has an entire chapter on different sharpening techniques

I really like number 4. Its a shot I would have been happy to post though its a shame the 3rd runner in the blue vest spoils the symmetry.

I got a copy from the local library first, then bought it in the Amazon new year sale £15

Well the edit shows some improvement in the processing but also shows there is nothing wrong with the original shots

Nicely done.
