I was tasked at capturing the residents and activites at a local festival. Asked these guys if I could take their pic, they obliged and asked, "what should we do", I replied, "Have a great time, give me some good, genuine expressions and pretend like I'm not even there." The result just looked really good to me. I went for the obvious comp with the leading lines and so caught up in catching the moment I forgot that I wanted to try to introduce some motion blur because this is literally a split second before they came to rest. They were good sports and I was pleased with the result over all.
