I don't know if I mentioned that several weeks ago we had our annual ice race here in Toronto. I must say, I was quite uninspired photographically. I only shot two rolls, about a third my usual output. Maybe I was looking for something different from past years - whatever the reason, I just didn't feel much like pressing the shutter release, and the results showed. Out of two rolls, I got one half decent shot, and here it is:

As you can see from the longjohns, boxer shorts and cape, the ice race is fun, and the competition is friendly, although once the races start, everyone gives their all. Hope you like, and thanks for looking and commenting. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
