I give that a 10.0, 9.8, 10.0 , 10.0, 9,9 & 10.0 for the gymnasts beam. Great behaviour shot and suits the crop

A good behaviour image but the light has made this a bit contrasty in places.

Brett is right about the contrast, often a problem with this species. Still a lovely behavioural shot, and just for once I agree that a square crop suits it!

Hi Keith,

Very nice, love these! I agree the light is a little harsh, but I guess you wouldn't of had the shutter speed to catch the action without it.

Cheers,

Lewis.

I wish I could stand on one leg and scratch my ear at the same time, I can't even manage it to put my socks on!
That's an excellent piece of behaviour you've caught there keith.
