Blade Runner

[Rob MacKillop]

Grass blades, of course. Good luck to all the marathon runners in London today. I know some of them practice in this area - Arthur's Seat...

Very dramatic, nice

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Jim.

Very good Rob. In the second with the road bearing to the left and the runner running in an opposing direction is a good touch.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, he just took off into an area I would tread carefully. But you have to be crazy to be a runner. No question.

 

[Paul Lange]

These are great Rob. They pull your eyes toward the runner, the tiny figure in amongst the rest of the image. I've tried to do similar in the past but never really managed it well.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Paul.

 

[alfie Wright]

Very nice again, Rob! I really like the composition & even more so the processing!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Alfie. It was a Grand Day Out, so to speak.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

The first one is epic Rob - the scale given by the runner, the lovely push processing, the line of the track curing up to the focus point

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Chris. Appreciated.

 

[Pete Askew]

Love the composition on that first one and, as Chris says, with the sky the way you have rendered it, it does have a real epic feel to it.
