Frans a SUPER HAND-HELD EFFORT! The fun, spectacle and crowds make this image complete. Great capture - and the burst against the Gum Trees (Eucalyptus) are super! Thanks for sharing - I miss our Spring/Summer season already, enjoy yours!
Thank you for your wonderful comment Tim. Your spot on with gum trees. Most of the people in the photo are the St Andrews volunteer fire brigade as its getting into summer and the bush is starting to dry out. The crowd were watching from the other side of the sports field.The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means, and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again, since it is life.
