Good action shot and great panning job. Black and white has enhanced the drama.

I like the determination on the men’s faces, and thanks for the explanation, it always makes the work more interesting.

Well captured shot congrats

This captures the high energy of the participants by using panning, low point of view, and high enough shutter speed to catch the water droplets in mid-air. Not the type of shot I would ever want to take, but it is very impressive! Congratulations on the potd!
