Martial arts tornament

Hi everyone,

I took this a while ago, I'm a bit frustrated that it wasn't perfect with regards to composition, but I like the shot and wondered what everyone else thinks?

Re: Martial arts tornament

I do like it and I see what you mean about the composition but when they are moving fast jerky movements it is hard.

Try taking a step or two back and then you can always crop it

Re: Martial arts tornament

Thanks, I wasn't expecting that kick at all, he was one side of the ring one min and there right in front of me the next!

Its not something I do regularly, but I had a lovely day - especially as he was once a pupil of mine! x
