The theme for the July competition is:

Timing!
Any genre, but being in the right place at the right time, or split second precision (otherwise known as luck!!)


Rules:

The photos taken must be your own work and can be taken at anytime, but please get out with your gear if you have time.
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for the following month and judges it at the end of the month.
Entries and discussion on this single thread, please.
All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered should be no bigger than 800 pixels wide for a landscape photo and 600 pixels high for a portrait photo due to the PH squash factor. Links to larger versions are permissible.

Here's an example of one of my own to get you started:

July Competition Winner

A huge thanks to everyone who entered this months competition. As usual, it has been great to see all the entries and tough to reach a decision on the winner.

However, here are the results of the judging jury here in France in reverse order!

Third Place goes to JonChalk for his shot of Marc Marquez minus his bike.

Great timing Jon, but for me, just missing the wider view to include the bike which would 'complete' the story

Second Place goes to Nigel_O for his shot of the Red Arrows.

Superb shot Nigel and only beaten into second place due to my warped sense of humour about the winners subject matter!








and the WINNER is:
Avantime for his shot from his son's cricket match.............Congratulations!

This photo encompasses both 'timing' and that reaction of 'ouch', which we all have when we first see it............along with a schoolboy chuckle!

So, well done Avantime and I look forward to seeing the subject for the August Competition.

Cheers
Glynn
