Years ago I had the good fortune to be involved with the graphics and production of advertising materials for a rowing shell manufacturer. One of the owners taught me how to row, then I taught others, and even sold a few shells to fellow enthusiasts. A fantastic sport, and I miss it every time I see calm water. I have taken some liberties with the correct position of the left foot of this rower. (5 years and 2664 days ago)

Motion blur shouldn't be in front of the moving object, it's like a trailing thing. Nice work on the reflection.

author says:

Thank you for your comment, Bob! Generally speaking, yes, but in this case, the head and entire torso go back and forth. These craft have sliding seats, the rower pushes with his feet and pulls the oars, and the seat rolls on tracks. Watch the bodies here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekbW5rkMrpQ

And we don't see any sign of motion blur in either direction.

author says:

The video was to illustrate the fact that the rower does indeed move back and forth. For this still image, I chose to illustrate the motion with blurs. Good observation, though.

io avrei levato il guinzaglio e la scarpa, ma la foto è molto divertente, bravo

author says:

Thank you, Donatella - the shoes are easily stored just ahead of the footrests, sometimes rowing barefoot is preferred...the leash just added a spot of red and more of a sense of motion.

avatar lincemiope

for red you're right. is good. maybe a little busy.
I see the shoe upside down .. and if I put you a leg?
just my ideas, I ask your forgiveness-

you did a great job

author says:

The dog's right foot is hidden inside the boat, but the left foot I've got showing - and moving, he's happy! Check out the video posted above to see the position of the feet.

Great sport...funny entry nicely done! I guess instead of "stroke...stroke...stroke" the cadence would be "woof...woof...woof".

author says:

LOL, I guess so,thanks, Rein!
