NOW VOTING!! Assigment #83: "Energetic"

On behalf of Assignment #82 winner, Sheiky, we are NOW VOTING on Assignment #83: Energetic

As described by Sheiky:

Interpret "energetic" anyway you want. From the logical things like sports, actions, movements and emotions, to things that represent energy or excitement. Even a well thought out shot of the fusebox could be a winner:p

The Finalists:

Energy! by Andrea: I really like this one. I'm a fan of pretty much all that is technical and industrial, so that was the first point. Second is that the shot just has energy all over it. Great entry!

The Cheerleader by Mark: This shot intrigues me. The girl as well as the background band express movements and emotions and it also makes me wonder what the move will be that she's about to do, so it activates my fantasy as well.

For the third I'm going for the marmot by Jonathan: I've seen and especially heard these little monsters last summer in Austria so I know exactly what's going on in the shot and that is energetic for sure!

A little kick here, but I also realised I'm on holidays till October 10th so I cannot judge after the 2nd. Perhaps someones will or the entryperiod could be extended?
Anyway, keep posting people;)

October 10th it is.

Perfect!

I want to submit a wildlife shot, but this one might not be quite energetic enough:

This one probably doesn't cut it either:

So instead I'll go with this one, a marmot throwing all of its energy into a high-pitched whistle:

It the spirit of Johnathan's non submissions.

In August a friend of mine participated in the Swedish Iron Man competition. While I was waiting for him at the finish line (after around 12 hours…) I took pictures of other athletes passing by. Most of them were looking quite exhausted, but this woman seemed filled with energy despite the effort.

Ha...perhaps "delirium"

:)

How about some generation of energy?

I like the different approaches to the subject, thanks for the entries! I'll let Brant know my choices tomorrow.

I can comment on each one of the photo's, great shots all! I really enjoy looking through them.

My picks for the 3 finalists are:

Energy! by Andrea: I really like this one. I'm a fan of pretty much all that is technical and industrial, so that was the first point. Second is that the shot just has energy all over it. Great entry!

The Cheerleader by Mark: This shot intrigues me. The girl as well as the background band express movements and emotions and it also makes me wonder what the move will be that she's about to do, so it activates my fantasy as well.

For the third I'm going for the marmot by Jonathan: I've seen and especially heard these little monsters last summer in Austria so I know exactly what's going on in the shot and that is energetic for sure!

Lastly: I would say that it was not easy picking just 3 finalists. There's aspects of energy that I like in every entry in the assignment. It was a subject that could be widely interpreted and you all have been doing just that. Really enjoyed it.

Jonathon - love 'em. I think I have an idea of how cold the water is and the bear sleeping in it.... LOL

Now voting!

Poll will be open for 5 days

Last day to vote!

Congratulations Andrea!

Kudos, Andrea. Superb image. Nicely done.

Thanks everyone!
