Combination of shots from today at Manly Beach:

This may sound weird since I commented how I didn't like a b & W from this location in another thread, but #2 is excellent. here the B & W treatment means we are drawn quite strongly to the centipede of swimmers that makes up the image.

#3 is great too - really nice sharp action shot

The last one has an element of humour to it - I like the lifeguard's smiling at the camera while the people in the water behind them look a little pissed that the beach is closed (there's a few there with their heads hanging, and they're all heading out of the water).

The first one, while sharp, I think is let down by the swimmers in the background, as they take the urgency away from the runner.

Agree with Peter on the B&W - works nicely here

The other one could have benefited from either a different angle, or closer in may have helped

Looks like fun in any case Geoff
