This is the second last from this series and the next will be my favourite. Many more photos from the event but they all look the same after a while. This is one of the few (or is it the only...can't remember) close up on the titles that i took that day. Pity i didn't manage to get the person in a better pose, would have been a much better complement. Some of the titles are rather huge and they have all sorts of name for it like "potato". Do not let these titles fool you, some of them have surface area smaller than my thumb and that makes gripping extremely difficult. Jensen personally named a round tile "na-na" because of it's perfect circular symmetry. It's actually a tribute because he felt that it was particularly hard to get a grip on it. hmmz.

Doesn't really work for me..
The depth of field is way too shallow and threw the person in the background too far out of focus. It looks like he/she had crashed landed - head on with his legs sticking upwards.
The foreground subject (is that called a title??) does not seem interesting enough to justify having the focus. I would have actually switch the focus around (person in focus) and capture the shot when the person is looking upwards and reaching for the next "rock" (title?).
I do have a couple of shots with the people in focus, reaching for the next title but yar...thought they were too boring. =)
